Media Reviews
Tony Watson's thinking is state-of-the-art. He is at the forefront, both as a scholar and as a researcher. But he is also a brilliant teacher, and this book will entice its readers into learning. The book is clear, interesting, highly original, brilliantly structured, totally sound theoretically, well grounded in organisational life, and full of good stories. No one gives you more new thoughts per page. David Sims, Professor of Organisational Behaviour and head, School of Business and Management, Brunel University Yet again Tony Watson has written a 'must buy' book. His new text, Organising and Managing Work, provides an insightful, sophisticated and critical dialogue between systems-control and process-relational perspectives on organisation/organising, that confronts head-on the tensions between structure and agency in the workplace. The text examines working life from a holistic and ethically sensitive standpoint, vividly brought to life with pointed 'cases and conversions' that clearly illustrate the old dictum that there is nothing so practical as good theory. Beautifully written and highly integrated, this is the text for the theoretically-inclined practitioner, the new breed of MBA student that academics aspire to. Karen Legge, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Warwick Business School This is quite simply the most exhilarating and witty aid to the study of management and organisations that I have come across for a long time. It will change irrevocably for the better teaching and learning in these areas. Buy it and enjoy it! Yiannis Gabriel, Professor of Organisational Theory, Imperial College Management School
