Recenzii
'Once upon a time, management was seen purely as an economically rational activity whose motives were uncluttered by other than efficient means-ends calculations. No more; a new spirituality is abroad and making inroads into what were once no-go territories of decision. This book is a significant challenge to the ethics of a disinterested management as well as a disinterested theory of its practice.' - Stewart Clegg, Director of Innovative Collaboration Alliances and Networks (ICAN), University of Technology, Sydney. 'A great read, the collection is diverse and wide-ranging, scholarly, yet readable. It raises fundamental questions about the very nature, meaning, purpose and direction of today’s organizations, and there is not a single aspect of change - and potential change - that it fails to touch in one way or another. I like the way you have brought management and non-management thinkers together, in so doing enabling you to address boundary-crossing issues in relation to the existential and philosophical, theoretical and practice dimensions of organization. At every level there is something for the organizational specialist, and some nice overlaps with other popular areas of research like staff well-being, organizational activism and consumer experience.' - S P Bate, Professor Emeritus, University College London
