Key concepts
Capitalist modernity = after used to refer to the period in the history of social relations dating roughly
from the 1780s that is characterized by the constant revolutionizing of production and culture
Organizational behaviour = the systematic study of formal organizations and of what people think,
feel and do in and around organizations
Capitalism = an economic system characterized by private ownership of the means of production,
from which personal profits can be derived through market competition and without government
intervention
Means of production = an analytical construct that contains the forces of production and the
relations of production, which, when combined, define the socioeconomic character of a society
Work/formal organization = a deliberately formed social group in which people, technology and
resources are purposefully co-ordinated through formalized roles and relationships to achieve a
division of labour designed to attain a set of objectives
Society = a large social grouping that shares the same geographical territory and is subject to the
same political authority and dominant cultural expectations
Neo-liberalism = a theory of political economics that proposes free markets (laissez-faire), free trade,
deregulation, privatization, shrinkage of the state, a hollowing out of social provision and low taxes
to advance the role of private enterprise in the economy
The economy = the social institution that ensures the maintenance of society through the
production, distribution and consumption of goods and services
Division of labour = the allocation of work tasks to various groups or categories of employee
Corporation = a large-scale organization that has legal powers (such as the ability to enter into
contracts and buy and sell property) separate from its individual owner or owners
Organizations can be grouped into four major categories according to their products
