Organizational Theory
Organizational theory is defined as "the study of organizations for the benefit of identifying common themes for the purpose of solving problems, maximizing efficiency and productivity, and meeting the needs of stakeholders." Organizational theory contains three subtopics: classical perspective, neoclassic perspective and environmental perspective. It complements the studies of organizational behavior and human resource studies.

Famous quotes containing the word theory:
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
