Recenzje

Vidal has written a very stimulating book that fills a gap, especially with respect to a critical theory of management within the framework of labor process theory. The book represents an important step away from a pure control-resistance model of organization... Also to Vidal's credit is that his theory brings together labor process theory with institutionalist approaches. His book will be a must read for the further debate on lean production and management. What makes the book particularly interesting is the wealth of empirical material.
