Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his landmark study of exchange and power in social life, Peter M. Blau contributes to an understanding of social structure by analyzing the social processes that govern the relations between individuals and groups. The basic question that Blau considers is: How does social life become organized into increasingly complex structures of associations among humans.This analysis, first published in 1964, represents a pioneering contribution to the sociological literature. Blau uses concepts of exchange, reciprocity, imbalance, and power to examine social life and to derive the more complex processes in social structure from the simpler ones. The principles of reciprocity and imbalance are used to derive such processes as power, changes in group structure; and the two major forces that govern the dynamics of complex social structures: the legitimization of organizing authority of increasing scope and the emergence of oppositions along different lines producing conflict and change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The General Equilibrium Theory as one of the fundamental theoretical concepts in economics is analyzed and reformulated by using the structuralist theory concept. Subsequently the basic principle of the economic theory, "exchange", is then compared to the basic principle of the Theory of Social Institutions: "power". The Theory of Social Institutions is a power-based theory - in contrast to most sociological theories which take a game-theoretic approach - and is shown to be well suited to explain all the phenomena a General Equilibrium Theory has to handle. Furthermore several weaknesses in the reasoning of theoretical economics are clearly identified. The result is a simpler, more straightforward approach to the various problems underlying the analysis of modern economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current state of social exchange theory is assessed in this collection of original papers. James S Coleman and Peter M Blau -- two of the founders of social exchange theory in the 1960s -- have contributed up-to-date reviews of their thinking on the subject. The volume also includes a piece by the late Richard Emerson, and contributions from young scholars who are expanding the frontiers of this theoretical framework. Jon Turner, a noted social theorist, rounds off this important volume with a critique of social exchange theory as presented by the contributors. As a current analysis of this major strand of social theory, this volume is unrivalled and should be of value to scholars and graduate students of sociology, social psychology and anthropology.

Book excerpt: If you want to "change lives, change organizations, change the world," the Stanford business school’s motto, you need power. Is power the last dirty secret or the secret to success? Both. While power carries some negative connotations, power is a tool that can be used for good or evil. Don’t blame the tool for how some people used it. If fully understood and harnessed effectively, power skills and understanding become the keys to increasing salaries, job satisfaction, career advancement, organizational change, and, happiness. In 7 Rules of Power, Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor of organizational behavior at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, provides the insights that have made both his online and on-campus classes incredibly popular—with life-changing results often achieved in 8 or 10 weeks. Rooted firmly in social science research, Pfeffer’s 7 rules provide a manual for increasing your ability to get things done, including increasing the positive effects of your job performance. The 7 rules are: 1) Get out of your own way. 2) Break the rules. 3) Show up in powerful fashion. 4) Create a powerful brand. 5) Network relentlessly. 6) Use your power. 7) Understand that once you have acquired power, what you did to get it will be forgiven, forgotten, or both. With 7 Rules of Power, you’ll learn, through both numerous examples as well as research evidence, how to accomplish change in your organization, your life, the lives of others, and the world.
