-To aid scholars and managers in predicting organizational failure, Samuel provides a model to help diagnose and predict an organization's decline and potential end. Particularly noteworthy are the author's observations regarding a firm's ability to survive failure based on its dependability and legitimacy. Samuel notes that public sector organizations with strong unions seem more likely to survive failure and become, in effect, 'permanent failures' that should not persist. This occurs, he says because of certain stakeholders' dependency on the organization that should fail.- --Choice "To aid scholars and managers in predicting organizational failure, Samuel provides a model to help diagnose and predict an organization's decline and potential end.

"Organizational Pathology" draws an extended metaphor that the life cycle of an organization is akin to the biological life cycle. Like all living things, organizations will encounter problems that lead to decline and eventual failure. This work discusses the basic problems and life-threatening diseases responsible for organizations' failure and death, including organizational politics, organizational corruption, and organizational crime. The book also contains critical work on crises and fixations; failure and survival; and, processes of disbandment and closure of dying organizations. The consideration of these issues follows a diagnostic model of failure. Samuel argues that if the problems that lead to failure can be predicted or diagnosed early, their severity can be assessed and possible remedies can be implemented to avoid escalating crises. At the very least, an understanding of why and how decline happens can be gained from this analysis. This book offers facts about the causes and consequences of organizational downfall and clues about diagnoses of certain symptoms of abnormal behavior, and how to identify early signs of decline or failure. In order to illustrate these abstract arguments and concepts, Samuel uses various real-life examples of events that have occurred in cross-country contexts. In this way, "Organizational Pathology: Life and Death of Organizations" should serve a variety of readers. Although primarily intended for students and scholars in the social and behavioral sciences that are familiar with the study and the practice of organizations, this book's informal style makes it easily accessible to a wide range of readers. Just as Samuel's previous book on organizational politics led to new lines of research and theory, this book will encourage similar studies in organizational pathology and institutional malaise.
