`Managing and Organizations is a real adventure...it is a novel, innovative and unconventional textbook, which will not only inform but will also entertain...a real "must" in understanding the process of management and organizational behavior' - Professor Cary L Cooper, CBE, Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University Management School, and Editor in Chief of the Blackwell Encyclopedia of Management
`Clegg, Kornberger and Pitsis take the reader on a fascinating journey into "the new world of management and organization theory". By moving from the individual to the globalization level, students are introduced to the complexities of managing and organizing.
Critical and practical, scholarly and aesthetically enjoyable…. What more could be expected of a learning and teaching
resource?' - Richard Weiskopf, Department of Organization and Learning, School of Management, Innsbruck University
`This is an exciting book. It covers the most important concepts in good currency . The coverage is based on the best and most relevant research. It connects with practical problems. It is written in language that is clear and accessible. It contains innovative exercises to help the readers expand their knowledge beyond simply reading this book' - Chris Argyrs, James B. Conant Professor Emeritus, Harvard University and Monitor Group
`This is truly the most exhaustive textbook on organization and management that ever existed. It conveys complex messages avoiding complicated style; it moves gracefully between the summaries of theories and examples from practice, between models to imitate and errors to be avoided, between micro and macro lenses applied to organizational phenomena. While obviously meant as a travel guide - a thorough and detailed manual for the beginners, it offers many unexpected insights and pearls of wisdom even for the most seasoned travelers interested in knowledge of and about management' - Barbara Czarniawska, M.A., E.D, Professor of Management Studies, Göteborg University
`This textbook does the impossible: it presents the latest, most complex and most unexpected research findings, it integrates critical perspectives that challenge managerial preconceptions, and it does all this with clear language and a focus on making knowledge useful. It is no wonder that business school faculty, students, and executives throughout the globe have chosen this as their preferred text' - Joanne Martin, Merrill Professor of Organizational Behavior, Emeritus, at the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University
`This book is both scholarly and fun. It may even give textbooks a good name! I thoroughly recommend it to all students and lecturers who want something more enjoyable, insightful and enduringly satisfying than Mcmanagement takeaways or force-fed ivory tower correctness' - Dr Richard J. Badham, Professor of Management, Macquarie Graduate School of Management, Sydney (20080103)

(Joanne Martin 20080807)“Organizations are complicated and dynamic. This book for future and current managers does not simplify organizations but instead provides concepts, maps, examples, knowledge bits and cases which invite and deepen understanding of the complexity of organizations and organizing. The book is up-to-date yet historically grounded. It is easy to read yet richly textured. It maps the territory of organizational studies in clear and useful ways. Its lively format, excellent examples, and topical coverage make it a unique and highly relevant text for becoming a thoughtful practitioner of organizations.”
