New online encyclopedia

International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies


The Library now has online access to the International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies.

The encyclopedia includes essay length entries on topics including: management theory; human resource management; leadership theory; organizational behaviour and knowledge and learning.





There are numerous access points to the content – via the readers guide, an A-Z of entries and an index, as well as a keyword search function. The Readers Guide is particularly useful as it allows you to browse through the thematic categories, giving you a good overview of the types of topics covered.





Each essay includes a conceptual overview of the subject, critical commentary and future directions, suggestions for further readings and links to related topics that can be found elsewhere in the encyclopedia.




The encyclopedia will be an excellent resource for students needing background information on management topics. It can be accessed by the library catalogue, the Business and Management subject guide or via the Sage eReference entry on the A-Z database list.

Also available on Sage eReference platform are the Encyclopedia of business ethics and society and 21st century management: a reference handbook.
