Kostera presents an advanced graduate textbook for students with existing knowledge of management and organization theory, but suggests that it could also be used for self-study, preferably in
collective settings such as study circles and book collectives. She synthesizes the knowledge in the two areas and redirects it toward self-management and self-organization. That is she has
removed the managerialist and corporationist ideology from the basic building blocks of management theory, and shows what can be done with what is left. She covers planning, organizing,
motivating, and controlling. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
