Media Reviews

Bombadiers all, the authors take the territory of organization theory from the air . . . Everything is a target: organization, culture, time, systems theory, method, positive social science, modernity, and even the idea of paradigms. Many of (their) smarter bombs strike at key vulnerabilities with an uncanny accuracy.
