This book provides a very unusual, but certainly interesting, approach to studying organisations. I found it fascinating to read. It is strongly interpretivist in its paradigm, which leaves me with similar feelings to other books of its kind (i.e. how do I translate this into practical advice for policymakers). However, it certainly did give me some food for thought, and it offers a very different perspective to other organisational studies books.
