Exit, Voice, and Loyalty
Responses to Decline in Firms, Organizations, and States
Book • 1970
In this influential book, Albert O. Hirschman explores how individuals and groups respond to decline in various organizations.
He introduces the concepts of 'exit' (withdrawing from the organization), 'voice' (attempting to improve the organization through complaint or protest), and 'loyalty' (the factor that can influence the choice between exit and voice).
Hirschman argues that these responses are interdependent and that understanding their interaction is crucial for addressing organizational decline.
The book applies these concepts to a wide range of economic, social, and political phenomena, including consumer behavior, political parties, and personal relationships.
