Recenzje

Strategies for Distributed and Collective Action shares many features of Gareth Morgan's well-known Images of Organization (1997), as it reminds us of the power of basic theoretical imageries anchored by vivid examples. But Kornberger dives more deeply into the foundational assumptions and epistemologies of different theoretical traditions, reanimating long-familiar arguments for seasoned readers and inviting graduate students to engage critically with classic texts and novel social phenomena. Each wave of theorizing about organization was grounded in the experience of specific episodes of sweeping social change or organizational innovation.
