'Reflecting deeply on recent historical approaches to management and organization studies, the authors have provided a uniquely reflexive account of the different histories, conceptions of histories and authors involved in recent scholarship that has sought to bring history back into focus in a largely ahistorical and instrumental field. The book will be a significant guide for those researchers seeking to disentangle the different approaches to histories involved in recent research, alerting them to the grounds and assumptions underlying various contributions.' – Stewart Clegg, Distinguished Professor of Management and Organization Studies at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia 'There are no scholars better placed to explore the development of management and organization history studies than Albert Mills and Milorad Novicevic. They have made enormous contributions to the debates that have nourished this fascinating field of study over the years. In this book they chart an exciting and ambitious course for its future.' – Todd Bridgman and Stephen Cummings, authors of A New History of Management 'This well-written and thought-provoking publication addresses its central topics as no book before and is a must read for those interested on management and organizations.' – Rafael Alcadipani, EAESP-FGV, Brazil 'History needs to be taken seriously in management and organization research, and Mills and Novicevic do just that. The books offers a thought-provoking critical analysis of the reasons and consequences of the ahistorical orientation in management and organization research. By so doing, this book adds to the recent historical turn and helps us to go deeper and further than what we typically think organization or management history is all about.' – Eero Vaara, Professor of Organization and Management at Aalto University, Finland 'This book provides deep insights on positivist and postmodernist historiography and demonstrates the role of historians in the authorship of history production in management and organization.' – Gagan Deep Sharma, University School of Management Studies, India
