Rezensionen

"Shabih Zaidi explores the mobilities and biographies of managers at directorial levels and explores their lifeworlds and everyday lives. Corporate executive officers and their families are the subject of a study in which the otherwise often mentioned virtues such as curiosity and flexibility attributed to CEOs are contrasted with images of how to deal with their anxieties and stress. Such feelings affect family relationships in everyday life and deserve closer attention."-Prof. Dr. Jacques Picard, Philosophisch-Historische Fakultät, Universität Basel
