| 注記 | Summary: "This book argues that paradox, ambiguity and uncertainty in organizational life are the norm rather than the exception for leaders and managers.

Managing in Uncertainty will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners looking at management and organizational studies from a critical perspective"-- Provided by publisher
