An Introduction to the Philosophy of Management Reviews

'This innovative text offers a radically different approach to understanding the core management issues of today. I thoroughly recommend this book to all students of management'
A/Prof Mark Dibben
Head of the School of Management at the University of Tasmania, Australia

'Finally, a book that explores the important philosophical questions in management theory in a sophisticated and modern way. Griseri's book will help define an important field of management theory'
R. Edward Freeman
the Darden School, University of Virginia, USA

'This is a welcome, long overdue, groundbreaking textbook, at the intersection of modern organisational life with perennial philosophical debates on existence, knowledge, values, and human action....Anchored in solid logical foundations, this book invites us on a challenging journey from epistemologies of organising to meanings of work and principles of collective action, using the work of classical and modern thinkers - such as Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Foucault'
Dr Cristina Neesham
Department of Management, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia

'This book is skillfully directed at invoking a wide audience to re-explore key issues such as: What is work or what can we 'know' about organisational life? The book is carefully built up by posing questions and offering deliberations from different angles - thereby activating our own processes of reflection'
Norma RA Romm
Research Professor, College of Education, University of South Africa, South Africa
