Beskrivning
In an age when large corporations dominate the economic and political landscape, it is tempting to think that their power goes largely unchecked. Originally published in 2007, Contesting the Corporation counters this view by showing that today's corporations are driven by political struggle, power plays and attempts to resist control. Building on a wide range of theoretical sources, Fleming and Spicer present an analysis of the different ways in which power operates within the modern workplace. They begin by building a theoretical perspective that synthesizes previous investigations of power and resistance, identifying struggle as a key concept. Each chapter illustrates a different dimension of workplace struggle through an array of original empirical studies relating to sexuality, cynicism, new social movements and new-wave trade unionism. The book concludes by demonstrating that social justice claims underlie even the most innocuous forms of resistance, helping to transform some of the largest modern corporations.

Review of the hardback: 'Contesting the Corporation offers a window on the corporate world that is too rarely viewed. Behind those many facades of contemporary corporate life stand real people, sometimes feeling trapped by their roles and the necessities of life, sometimes playing - ironically, cynically, creatively - with the demands that are made, or sometimes just exercising the right to be men and women and voice that which makes them different. In exploring these worlds, the reality of life contained and constrained by the corporation is dissected by the authors in terms of corporate and contested strategies of power, resistance and struggle.' Stewart Clegg, Professor of Organisational and Work Culture, University of Aston Business School
