`Pandemonium is an irreverent and critical look at management, education and the so-called gurus. It takes as its basic premise the fact that in real organisations there is chaos, even pain, torture, death and destruction, if you look hard enough. More importantly it points out the continuing failure of organisations to recognise the real contributors - the workforce.

Rezensionen
Burrell has produced a retro-organization theory that seeks to describe the underbelly (or is it the reality?) of orgnizations in pre-enlightenment terms. Organizations are as pandemonium.... Whether you agree with retro-organization theory or not, is up to you. Personnally I find it useful to view organizations where the rational andthe primordial interact and often confront each other.... If we dare look deeply through pandemonium's lens, however, it has the potential to shed a disturbing light on the issues and challenges facing the design and introduction of information systems and technologies into healthcare organizations and the role of information, now and in the future. In retrospect it may also shed light on some fo the problems surrounding its past history' - British Journal of Healthcare Computing & Information Management `Pandemonium is an irreverent and critical look at management, education and the so-called gurus.

The MBA will never be the same again' - Bryan S Turner, Deakin University `Pandemonium is a dark, gothic place, full of danger and enchantment for all who enter its labyrinth, a retro-vision that seeks to ensnare, disarm and disturb all who enter, whatever sense they make from the many opportunities it provides' - Stewart R Clegg, University of Technology, Sydney `Undoubtedly, Burrell, through Paradigms, has been one of the main contributors to contemporary organizational thinking, and indeed, to a not insignificant degree, has influenced the way the subject has developed' - British Journal of Industrial Relations…mehr
