Recensioner i media

“John Child excels once again at connecting the past, present and future of organizational thought and managerial practice. By deepening its theoretical foundations and expanding its discussion of 21st-century topics, this second edition is an exciting and insightful journey for faculty and students alike.”—Guido Möllering, Professor of Organization and Management, Jacobs University Bremen“This is an outstanding contribution to literature from a world class academic. His contribution to the field of organizational studies is without parallel and this work is a monumental contribution to the global literature on organizational behavior.”—Sir Cary Cooper, Lancaster University Management School“John Child has done it again. This accessible and scholarly book brings the analysis of organizational forms where it belongs at the very centre of the fields of organization and strategy.”—Andrew Pettigrew, Saïd Business School, Oxford University“Conventional, sluggish bureaucracies are being introduced to a new structural vocabulary as they attempt to respond to the challenge of globalization. John Child provides a lucid and engaging guide to this changing world of organizations.”—W. Richard Scott, Department of Sociology, Stanford University
