Power and Interdependence in Organizations

Dean Tjosvold is the Henry Y. W. Fong Chair Professor of Management at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. Barbara Wisse is Associate Professor of Organizational Psychology at VU University Amsterdam.

'Why are attitudes toward power so ambivalent when power is a pervasive aspect of organizations? Could this be a Western-culture-centric perspective? The international team of academics contributing to Power and Interdependence in Organizations addresses the positive face of power as well as how to control its negative face.' Jeanne Brett, Northwestern University
