Review
"The authors use a critical perspective to help us see fundamental concepts and issues in fundamentally different ways." Walter Nord, Distinguished University Professor, University of South Florida, USA.

A great read for serious students of management and organization studies.”-- David M. Boje, Bank of America Endowed Professor of Management, New Mexico State University, USA
