Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee, Vanessa C. M. Chio, Raza Mir, "Organizations, Markets and Imperial Formations: Towards an Anthropology of Globalization"

`This edited collection is an extraordinarily welcome text for those of us teaching international management in the US while observing with dismay the lack of critical awareness about the rest of the world in extant disciplinary scholarship. Rather than giving us "the view from the rest", the collection advances a temporal and spatial relational approach to understanding globalization and compels its audience to bridge the gap between "the west and the rest" by bringing to visibility the cultural and material encounters co-constructing them. In this context, the various contributions deconstruct "international management" as market-based activity, exposing its mode of existence within complex power relations networks extending over time and space.'

- Marta B. Calás, University of Massachusetts, US

`Organizations, Markets and Imperial Formations offers a set of innovative critiques of contemporary economic globalization. A major theme of the book is that our imperialist histories have resulted in a globalization process that replicates exploitative colonialist patterns. Chapter authors provide insights on a variety of subjects, including a critique of mainstream international management textbooks and the simplistic toolkits they offer to managers; an analysis of how a universalistic view of capitalism and economic organization results in exploitative patterns of resource appropriation; and documentation of the negative consequences of globalization, specifically, patterns of inequality and class segregation.'

- Alison M. Konrad, University of Western Ontario, Canada

This authoritative book explores the nexus between organization theory, globalization and imperialism and examines the effects of a global order organized around development and markets.

The authors explore how interconnections between organization theory and the global political economy have led to the perpetuation of inequality and active reconfigurations of life, labour and the economy. They contend that cultural ethnocentrism and Western ideologies of development continue to inform the field of organizational studies and offer an alternate mode of theorizing. Through theoretical and empirical reflections, the authors produce a patchwork quilt of innovatively critical approaches to globalization.

Graduate students, academics and scholars in the fields of management and organizational sciences, as well as postcolonial, development and globalization studies will find this book of particular interest. It is also an invaluable read for international management and strategy scholars, including those focused on multinational operations in the Third World.
