`Marsden's deductive analysis of employment systems is interesting and insightful from a micro-level perspective.' Suzanne J.Konzelmann A recent elegantly written book by Professor David Marsden at the London School of Economics provides further evidence of the need for the closing of that perceived gap between work and how it is organised. Robert Taylor, Financial Times, 03/02/2000 This is a scholarly and interesting exploration of an important subject. The approach is both rigorous and creative and results in important insights of both an economic and cultural nature. L.J.Anthony, Aslib Book List, Volume 65 No 3 March 2000
