With conceptions of identity perhaps less stable than they have ever been, the authors make complex theoretical issues accessible to the reader through the use of lively examples from popular culture. The authors present an overview of the key issues, as well as an examination of cutting-edge research and topical forces currently re-defining identity, such as globalisation, the fair trade movement and online identities.
This text is a succinct, relevant and exciting overview of the field of identity studies as it relates to business and management and applied social sciences, an is an invaluable resource to undergraduate and postgraduate students of management on any course that has an identity component.
Very interesting and accessible. Covers all the main areas well with up to date literature. Good for undergraduates
This is a brilliant book. One of the best I have read.
Fantastic book, but lacks some aspects I need in teaching.
This text gives new insight into the nature of organisational identity. It brings together in a very interesting way the many ways of thinking about organisations. The powerful impact of organisational culture on the members is very well explained.
Will add it as recommended reading to MBA Class
