This book uses the case study of a UK-based Christian faith-based organisation to develop an analytic tool using institutional logics. Through exploration of how various institutional logics are manifested and negotiated across organisational practice, the book describes how the 'telos', or goal, of the logic of corporation (the ‘long-term sustainability of the organisation’) interacts with the telos of the logic of religion (worship God). The book demonstrates that since organisational practices must ultimately work to sustain the organisation, at the organisational level faith is restricted to certain spaces and forms, while at the individual level it is dominant and active. The argument advanced through the book is that the influence of faith at the organisational level predominantly relates to the process of organising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing a fresh perspective to discussions of religion and development by highlighting how faith influences development at the organisational level, this book will be an important read for researchers working on global development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575816577262,"sku":"9781032770086","price":218.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/institutional-logics-within-faith-based-aid-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
