"A marvelous addition to the literature on both organizations and
power. 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
or uncritically assume more is better, while ignoring its
pernicious effects. Stewart Clegg, David Courpasson and Nelson
Phillips set the record straight." - Joanne Martin, Merrill
Professor of Organizational Behavior and, by courtesy, Sociology
Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Stanford In this
tour de force, Stewart Clegg, David Courpasson and Nelson Phillips
provide a comprehensive account of power and organizations,
unlocking power as the central relation of modern organizations and
society. The authors present an excellent synthesis of
organization, social and political theory to offer an overview of
power and organizations that is historically informed, addresses
current issues and is comprehensive in scope. Power and
Organizations reviews the evolution of theories on power and
organization, presenting not only the theorists who identify power
as positive, but also dealing with the negativity of power and the
real horror of which organizations are capable, which has thus far
been underplayed in organization theory. At the core of
organizational power projects are organizational elites, whose
politics and projects are examined extensively in the book. The
book concludes by examining the implications for organizations and
their elites of the trends, tendencies, and theories considered in
the course of the book. This book is required reading for graduate
students and researchers in areas such as organizational, social
and political theory.
