It is well-grounded in the research on these topics and especially the wide-range of relevant theorizing…The book is terrific at bringing together theory, research and the world of organizations.” – George Ritzer, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland “This book tirelessly illuminates the nooks and crannies of the power literature…taking readers on an audacious tour of power’s multiple conceptualizations and expressions.” – Hugh Willmott, Diageo Professor of Management Studies, University of Cambridge “Clegg and his associates expose the power dynamics that lie at the heart of all political and organizational arenas, and in so doing, they shed light on the underbelly along with the creative potentialities in organizational life.” -Joyce Rothschild, Professor of Sociology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University “Strange but true – most studies of organizational hierarchies downplay the issue of power
