The Spaces of Organisation and the Organisation of Space: Power, Identity and Materiality at Work

This book examines the role and utilization of workplace 'space': how it is organized; how it can reflect organisational values; how it can affect employee identities; and the many ways in which the physical environment can influence and affect organisational goals, especially in areas such as commitment, creativity and innovation.
