Summary

Realism is increasingly impacting on management and business studies. Pulling together a wide range of material, all explicitly or implicitly rooted in philosophical realism, this volume addresses issues such as the nature of the firm, This book combines theoretical writing with substantive contributions addressing issues such as the nature of the firm and the labor process. Together they demonstrate that realism is a powerful alternative to postmodernism and positivism.
