‘Organizations Evolving is an instant classic. The go-to book for
information about the future, as well as what s current in
organizations studies. It follows Aldrich's pioneering work on
entrepreneurship, with great cases, on-line supplements, and
updates on digital technology and inequality. For the best primer
on the study of organizations, Organizations Evolving is the clear
winner.'

’Organizations evolve and emerge. Aldrich, Ruef and Lippmann
introduce a generic framework for understanding organizational and
social change. The authors are in this third edition informatively
and beautifully integrating evolving knowledge about organizations.
The previous edition of Organizations Evolving was my favorite book
about organization. This edition is even better.'
*Morten Huse, BI Norwegian Business School, Norway*
'Organizations Evolving synthesizes in an excellent way the
evolution of organizations, and clarifies the elegance of the
evolutionary approach in using a few distinct concepts to explain
broad and complex phenomena. In the third edition of the book, the
authors have significantly updated the book, and made it more
teaching friendly, which makes it a great textbook for
understanding entrepreneurship and organizations.'
*Hans Landström, Lund University, Sweden*
