Reviews

Bombadiers all, the authors take the territory of organization theory from the air . . . Everything is a target: organization, culture, time, systems theory, method, positive social science, modernity, and even the idea of paradigms. Many of (their) smarter bombs strike at key vulnerabilities with an uncanny accuracy.

Many of (their) smarter bombs strike at key vulnerabilities with an uncanny accuracy.' - Administrative Science Quarterly `This is an important set of readings. We are on high ground here with organization theory and analysis being set firmly within the framework of social theory and the philosophy of social enquiry.' - Work, Employment and Society 'The book lives up to its title. I would strongly recommend this book to the enthusiastic philosopher of organisations.' - - J.Keri Davies, Management in Education
