Description

This irreverent but serious work systematically challenges the underlying assumptions and values of contemporary linear organization theory. The author looks at the pain, violence, death, failure and chaos hidden underneath, at the prison-like surveillance systems, the rotting structure - the organizational hell disregarded by conventional organization theory and practice. Disclaiming the voices of positivist science, the author presents a metaphor for the rejection of linearity, the reassertion of organizational creativity, and the return of actual human beings into the equations of organization theory and practice.

He is also co-editor of Organization: the interdisciplinary journal of organization, theory and society published by Sage.
