Reviews

We think of secrets as nouns, gems hidden by organizations. This compelling book challenges that idea, revealing secrecy as a verba ubiquitous mode of communication that constitutes organizational life. More than something that organizations have or do, Costas and Grey expose secrecy as a process that makes organizations what they are. Karen Lee Ashcraft, University of Colorado Boulder
