'Organizational Participation is the best and most definitive book available on participation. It is conceptually rich, empirically thorough, and analytically sound. It is comprehensive in describing the history of the subject as well as the many nations in which it is practised. The book represents the most interdisciplinary and balanced presentation available. It is full of advice and insights on new research as well as effective practice.' Chris Argyris, James Bryant Conant Professor of Education and Organizational Behaviour Emeritus, Harvard University 'There are few more important issues facing organizations than that of participation and this book offers excellent reviews, sound theoretical understanding, and worthwhile common-sense advice on the key problems opportunities. The authors draw on their massive collective international experience and expertise to take us through the myths and realities of organizational participation in a most illuminating and concise way.' Chris Clegg, Deputy Director of the Institute of Work Psychology, University of Sheffield 'This is a volume that brings together an amazing amount of research, experience, and thought by some of teh foremost advocates of more participative approaches to management. It is a wise, helpful, and challenging collection and deserves to be widely read and reflected upon.' Professor Anthony Hopwood, Said Business School, University of Oxford 'Organizational Participation is first class and is probably the 'last word' on the subject by an outstanding set of authors whose valedictory treatment of the subject will be hard to beat in any future publication on the topic.' Professor Malcolm Warner, Fellow, Wolfson College, and Judge Institute of Management Studies, University of Cambridge 'It is truly amazing that the authors, after having occupied themselves for so many years with fads and foibles, facts and fiction of participation and kindered topics, still manage to take a fresh look and tell us something new about it. But they do, ...(and) they do so in a clear and cogent style.' Professor Cornelis Lammers, University of Leyden, The Netherlands
