`Organizations Evolving is precisely what this book is about. In a richly textured way, Howard Aldrich gives the reader a distinctive feel for the subject and a way to think about and understand emergence and change in organizations. [The book] is informative and engaging. It is playful and rigorous. It is scholarly and quite practical. Aldrich writes with confidence and wisdom. He invites many theorists into the tent even as he sometimes re-casts their work within his frame. His book makes a fine contribution to the evolving field of organization studies' -Professor Peter J. Frost University of British Columbia

`This is a terrific book! Just as Howard Aldrich was the first to present an ecological framing for the field, this is the first comprehensive work to extend and integrate what so many have beentalking about as important, but (maybe excepting Nelson and Winter's start) nobody has explained and worked out where the field should move with it. Which Aldrich has done here so clearly and articulately. For me, the book is especially timely. Putting emergence and dynamics out front is a great contribution' - Paul Hirsch, James Allen Distinguished Professor of Strategy and Organization at the Kellogg School of Business, Northwestern University.
