Secrecy is endemic within organizations, woven into the fabric of
our lives at work. Yet, until now, we've had an all-too-limited
understanding of this powerful organizational force. Secrecy is a
part of work, and keeping secrets is a form of work. But also,
secrecy creates a social order-a hidden architecture within our
organizations. Drawing on previously overlooked texts, as well as
well-known classics, Jana Costas and Christopher Grey identify
three forms of secrecy: formal secrecy, as we see in the case of
trade and state secrets based on law and regulation; informal
secrecy based on networks and trust; and public or open secrecy,
where what is known goes undiscussed. Animated with evocative
examples from scholarship, current events, and works of fiction,
this framework presents a bold reimagining of organizational life.

Looking beyond the shiny surface of Potsdamer Platz, a designer
micro-city within Berlin's city center, this book goes
behind-the-scenes with the cleaners who pick up cigarette butts
from sidewalks, scrape chewing gum from marble floors, wipe coffee
stains from office desks and scrub public toilets, long before
white-collar workers, consumers and tourists enter the complex. It
follows Costas's journey to a large yet hidden, four-level deep
corporate underworld below Potsdamer Platz. There, Costas discovers
how cleaners' attitudes to work are much less straightforward than
the public perceptions of cleaning as degrading work would suggest.
Cleaners turn to their work for dignity yet find it elusive. The
book explores how these cleaners' dramas of dignity unfold in
interactions with co-workers, management, clients and the public.
The book will appeal to students and academics in the fields of
organisational theory, organisational behavior, organisation
studies, sociology, social anthropology, cultural studies and urban
studies.
