Reviews
'This book is short, fun to read, and full of good ideas. It also works well as an introduction to how to theorize in organization studies, for students as well as professors.'
--From the foreword by Richard Swedberg
'I found the book witty, clear, passionate and well written. For me, it was an opportunity to reflect on my own academic life, my practice of theorizing and my contribution to the field while reading the book and mirroring myself through the thoughts of the ''key'' thinkers that I know personally or through their writing. '
--Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento, Italy
