Book reading notes:
The dominant view in management theory and society in general is that managers are directly responsible for an organization’s success or failure. We call this perspective the omnipotent view of management. In contrast, others have argued that much of an organization’s success or failure is due to external forces outside managers’ control. This perspective is called the symbolic view of management.
