Barbara Czarniawska was Professor of Management Studies at GRI, School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Doctor honoris causa at Stockholm School of Economics, Copenhagen Business School and Helsinki School of Economics, she was a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Royal Engineering Academy, the Royal Society of Art and Sciences in Gothenburg and Societas Scientiarum Finnica. Czarniawska took a feminist and constructionist perspective on organizing, recently exploring the connections between popular culture and practice of management, and the organization of the news production. She was interested in methodology, especially in techniques of fieldwork and in the application of narratology to organization studies.

The text has a theoretical approach which is good, but it is not helpful in the development of my module content. I was looking for something more pragmatic.
