2000, Cognitive Space - A social cognitive approach to Sino-Western cooperation

This study is a fundamental improvement of the theory of Social Integration as proposed by Van Dongen e.a. (1995). While the original model was mainly designed to describe organising processes on the micro-level, the framework developed here expands the scope to meso- and macro-levels as well. The new framework can be regarded as one ofthe most comprehensive organisation theories of the social constructivist school. It provides exiting new insights in human organising processes, that will be useful to scholars of a number of academic fields. The reader is instructed in great detail how cognitive spaces like cities, provinces, markets, enterprises, associations, etc., are constructed in ongoing interaction. Moreover, this study comprises one of the first attempts to study cross-cultural cooperation from a social constructivist angle using case studies, most of which are taken from the author's own consulting practice.

Consultants and managers interested in the processes and dynamics of organisational change will find in this book an opportunity to apply the theory of Social integration on the meso and macro levels.

Peverelli, P, 2005, Chinese Corporate Identity, Routledge, London.

This text represents the first study of economic restructuring in reform era China to apply the concepts of identity and corporate space; notions which have become increasingly relevant as foreign invested and Chinese ventures face complex operational and societal issues in the wake of globalisation. I use my own theoretical framework to examine and detect multiple identities of Chinese enterprises within a larger, comprehensive organisation theory. A host of practical case studies taken from my time as a consultant help to illustrate this original theory, while providing a practical reference to the modern Chinese economy and Chinese management.

'Corporate identity, in the theoretical framework constructed by Peverelli, is set within the wider social-cognitive context

of social organization. Corporate identity emerges from the interaction between what the corporation wishes to be and what

its environment wishes it to be. This interaction leads to multiple identities in multiple social- cognitive contexts. This approach is

illustrated with case studies of Chinese enterprises drawn from Peverellis own portfolio as a consultant.'-Reference & Research

Organisation theory is a theoretical field of study distinct from morepractical fields such as general management, organisational

behaviour andhuman resource management. It is a basic science studying the ways human actors organise themselves into groups with various degrees

of complexity.

Organisation theory is not the study of organisations. Groups of actors referred to as 'organisations' in everyday parlance only constitute one

part of the groups introduced in this text. Organisation theory is, therefore, a necessary tool not only for students of business

administration, but also for those of a wide range of other academic fields, including sociology, cultural anthropology, public administration,

education and philosophy.
