Biografisk notat
The late Barbara Czarniawska, formerly Professor Emerita of Management Studies, GRI, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg, Sweden<i>‘The author asks: what is the use of the research results that consist of descriptions of practices rather than the foundation of principles? And the answers that she provides are so unconventional and surprising that they make the reading of the book pure pleasure.’</i>
- Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento, Italy,
<i>‘In this ’</i>A Theory of Organizing,<i> Barbara Czarniawska treats us to a fascinating journey. Bringing together many of her previous theoretical contributions into a coherent sum, she constructs an enticing and highly original conceptual toolbox to read a world of expansive organizing. Professor Czarniawska outlines a constructivist perspective of organizing that is both highly sophisticated and a pleasure to read. This refreshing theoretical exercise, by a major organization scholar is a must read!’’</i>
