"If you already think you know what organizing is, think againLet one of the most creative organization theorists of the last forty years open your mind and enjoy feeling your brain heat up. There is political urgency here too, because if we don't start thinking and doing organization differently then our planet will become too lively for us to live on. Read this book." Martin Parker, Professor of Organization Studies and Lead for the Bristol Inclusive Economy Initiative, Bristol University, UK
"In this highly informative, provocative, and passionate book, Gibson Burrell challenges what is presented as organization theory, demanding of us the bravery to examine and question the organizational consequences of the ways in which, and by which, we live. Go on. Challenge yourself!" Barbara Townley, Emeritus Professor, School of Management, University of St Andrews, UK.
"Never judge a book by its cover. Behind an innocent title, Gibson Burrell shows us why organizational scholars must dissolve the many neo-institutionalist smoke screens that mask the ugly realities of corporate life, and why we must never stop scrutinizing how power is exercised from the inner vestiges of organizations, or exploring what can be done about it. With remarkable wit and edge, this book reminds us why Burrell remains one of the most important voices in business education and critique." Torkild Thanem, Professor of Management & Organization Studies, Stockholm University, Sweden
Gibson Burrell is Professor of Organization Theory at the University of Manchester, UK.
