Turbulence traces the history of corporate restructuring and its consequences through the experience of an iconic US company. A fascinating read. --Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management; Director, Center for Human Resources at The Wharton School and Professor of Education, University of Pennsylvania--Peter Cappelli (07/10/2010)

Turbulence is not only a masterful, detailed study of ten years of dramatic organizational change at Boeing. It is also a story of how American managers and workers can cope with the fierce pressures of global economic competition, seeking both high productivity and a decent workplace. --Benjamin I. Page, Gordon Scott Fulcher Professor of Decision Making, Northwestern University--Benjamin I.
