Gary Miller's _Managerial Dilemmas_ might be better for a general course on organizations but is aimed more at the graduate level, I believe.

Fourteen months? That is such a spectacular display. On a related note: Are there undergraduate economics of organizations texts / sources that are not so firm-centric? I'm teaching an orgs course this fall and the Brickley, Smith, Zimmerman looks to have a lot of great elements, but I think there is some expectation of focusing on public orgs (bureacracy) and NGOs.
