'Imagine a restaraunt where all your favourite dishes are prepared, each by a master
chef, and unknown delights also await your pleasure. You do not have to go anywhere
to get to this restaraunt, it is right in your own kitchen. You can even take it
to the office with you. Without too much exaggeration, this is the rough equivalent
of what is offered to the student of organization theory in The Oxford Handbook of
Organization Theory '
'The Oxford Handbook [of Organization Theory] can be returned to many times to
reflect on assumptions held on what organizations are, on what good science is, and
on who should be the end customer for ones scientific activities ... This is the
big tent depiction of organizational studies as a civilized community building an
increasingly relevant narrative on organizations pertinent to more and more people.
It is hip. It is current. It is self-consciously aware of the forces that shape as
it grows. '
