ABSTRACT
There has been some tendency in the review above, in effect to equate the terms Ipowerl and 'politics

The recognition of politics in organisations may be traced essentially to the same sources as power - e. g. March (1962), March and Simon (1958), Cyert and March (1963) - and perhaps in a lesser way to analyses like that of Strauss ( 1962) who considered 'office pol itics' and 'bureaucratic gamesmanship'.
