This book examines the dominance and significance of lean organizing in the international economy. Scholars from each discipline see lean production as positive or negative; the book blends theory with practice by sorting out these different academic views and revealing how lean is implemented in different ways.

Recenzje

"Finally a comprehensive and balanced view of what lean production is, and not what it should be. It allows for understanding the phenomenon beyond the managerial fashion and provides well-established insights of the future worlds of production and work." - Tommaso Pardi, Laboratory Institutions and Historical Dynamics of the Economy and Society, France
