Decisions Without Hierarchy

<p><em>Decisions Without Hierarchy</em> is based on a two-year examination of three feminist organizations: a peace group, health collective, and business women's group. From these case studies, Iannello constructs a model of organizations that, while structured, is nevertheless non-hierarchical. She terms this organization from the "modified consensus model." Her case studies show that modified consensus does not give way to pressures toward formal hierarchy and that, therefore, the model merits the attention of feminists and organization theorists alike.</p> Part 1 The Starting Point of Organization Theory; Chapter 2 Hierarchy; Chapter 3 Non-Hierarchy; Chapter 4 The Starting Point of Feminist Theory; Part 2 The Feminist Peace Group; Chapter 6 The Women’s Health Collective; Chapter 7 The Business Women’s Group; Chapter 8 Summary and Conclusion;
