- NotPavlovsDog 6y agoPleasantly surprised to meet someone else here that has read it! My management department at a major university has not! It is somewhat telling that this book mostly gets cited by practitioners of CMS, Critical Management Studies, with a citation index in the hundreds. Perhaps the explanation lies, as CMS luminary Alvesson puts it, in the basis of mainstream management research seeing itself as in the service of industry.
