Publisher Emerald Group Publishing Limited (Bingley, U.K, 2021) Language(eng) English ISBN9781838679910 SeriesResearch in the sociology of organizations EditionUnknown SubjectCOOPERATIVE SOCIETIES; NoteIncludes bibliographical references; AbstractOur everyday lives are structured by the rhythms, values, and practices of various organizations, including schools, workplaces, and government agencies. These experiences shape common-sense understandings of how ';best' to organize and connect with others. Today, for-profit managerial firms dominate society, even though their practices often curtail information-sharing and experimentation, engender exploitation, and exclude the interests of stakeholders, particularly workers and the general public. This 'Research in the Sociology of Organizations' volume explores an expansive array of organizational imaginaries, or conceptions of organizational possibilities, with a focus on collectivist-democratic organizations that operate in capitalist markets but place more authority and ownership in the hands of stakeholders other than shareholders
