Review

"Relevant and powerful. It represents a fine piece of work, carefully written, edited and sequenced." -- John Van Maanen , Professor of Organizational Studies, Sloan School of Management, MIT

"The book is very up-to-date; in fact, it is the best synthetic treatment of organizations that I know of that incorporates the range of recent thinking and research. It is not only excellent on theory, but summarizes the major pieces of research, from the classic studies up through works of the 1970s. The writing is uniformaly quite good, and in a few places rises to a wonderful vividness." -- Randall Collins , Professor of Sociology, University of Virginia
