Reviews

Alexandra Pitsis has written a wonderful book that is remarkable both for its ambition and creativity. Skillfully weaving together philosophy, social science, and literary theory, she opens us to the implicit poetics of organizations as well as giving us a new means through which to research the lived realities of social existence. A great achievement. Carl Rhodes, Professor of Management, University of Leicester, UK. Pitsis shows how important a part poetics plays in organizational life. This testifies to the impressive degree of the originality and creativity in Pitsis' work, and I am hopeful that fellow organizational scholars will dare to pick up these methodological tools in further exploring the poetics of organizational life.' Torkild Thanem, Professor of Management and Organization Studies, Stockholm Business School, Sweden.
