Rezensionen

"Every reader will disagree with portions of this book. But everyreader will also come to see organization science differently, asadjacent chapters juxtapose contrasting interpretations, new voicesreceive hearings, and orthodoxies meet challenges. These debatesexpand our understanding by articulating alternatives, andoccasionally synthesizing them. Students of organization ormanagement theory will find this a valuable introduction to thecentral tensions and debates in organization studies." BillStarbuck, New York University
