Product Description

Review

'This is a remarkable and deeply interesting book for those that seek to understand what really happens in organizations, as opposed to what is supposed to happen. This book should be read both by would-be managers and by those attempting to lay down a conceptual framework for understanding, reflecting upon and improving the experiences of people in organizations. The experiences recounted...mark the beginning of a major revolution in thinking about people, organizations and society.' - Professor Peter Allen, Cranfield University, UK

'Well worth reading.' - Jim Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer, University of Louisville Hospital, USA

'Valuable insights from a practising manager who can reflect on his experience within a framework of academic rigour. A rare and remarkable study.' - Long Range Planning


Product Description

Adopting the perspective of complex responsive processes Philip Streatfield reflects on his own experience as a manager to explore the question - who, or what is 'in control' in an organization.
