Rethinking Organizational Change

This book seeks to change this; based on a rendition of Mikhail Bakhtin's anthropological concept of polyphony applied to organizational change. The reader is treated to a cutting-edge discussion of a variety of contemporary ontological and epistemological themes centered on process, dialectic, dialogue and social construction.
