Recensioner i media

“My read of this short text (78 pages) is that the authors have most certainly been successful on the first front and have taken the field another valuable step toward the second. … this book has much to recommend. Analyzing popular culture narratives, this research effectively describes the narratives of three business industries. It does this quite well.” (Michael D. Jones, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, December, 10, 2018)
