Reviews

The ongoing internationalization of business and the challenges of inter-organizational relationships suggest that Liminality is a topic of growing importance. This book provides valuable insight on the concept of Liminality, how it works within organizations and lessons learned from different Liminality experiences. In the field of global sourcing this knowledge will be valuable for buyers, providers and advisors. - Ron Babin, Ryerson University, Canada
