      title = {Max Weber and the sociology of organization : reflections  on a concept of pre-modern organization /},
      abstract = {In today's organizational sociology, organizations are  usually regarded as late achievements of modernity in the  history of mankind. Max Weber is repeatedly cited as the  supposed guarantor of this thesis. But neither his type of  "bureaucratic rule" nor his concept of "rational work  organization" - although both are tailored to modern  conditions - contain, on closer inspection, compelling  arguments for a principled limitation of organizations as  such to modernity. Both actually reach their depth of focus  only in contrast to "pre-modern" forms of organization. A  sociology of organization that wants to refer to Max  Weber's work while avoiding the numerous common  misunderstandings of its reception must broaden its  historical view and consider the possibility of "pre-modern  organizations". The author Philipp Jakobs is a research  assistant at the Chair of Cultural Sociology at the  University of Bonn, where he is doing his doctorate on  economic organizations from a historical-sociological  perspective. This book is a translation of an original  German edition. The translation was done with the help of  artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service  DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily  in terms of content, so that the book will read  stylistically differently from a conventional translation.},
