Review
"Various theoretical papers address such issues as the nature of the firm and the labor process. Together they demonstrate that realism is a powerful alternative to postmodernism and positivism."
-Business Horizons May-June 2002
From the Back Cover
Realism has been one of the most powerful new developments in philosophy and the social sciences. As this volume makes clear it is also having an increasing impact in management and business studies. It pulls together a wide range of material which is all explicitly or implicitly rooted in philosophical realism.
The volume combines theoretical papers with substantive contributions addressing such issues as the nature of the firm and the labour process. Together they demonstrate that realism is a powerful alternative to postmodernism and positivism.
