Edward Elgar Pub (May 2009). 254 pages. This book explores the
nexus between organization theory, globalization and imperialism
and examines the effects produced by a global order organized
around development and markets. The authors explore how
interconnections between organization theory, the shift to markets
and globalization have led to the perpetuation of inequality and
active reconfigurations of life, labour and the economy. They
contend that cultural ethnocentrism and Weste ideologies of
development continue to inform the field of organizational studies
and offer an alteate mode of theorizing. Through theoretical and
empirical reflections, the authors produce a patchwork quilt of
innovatively critical approaches to globalization.
