Introduction: Can Values and Meanings be Outsourced and if so to whom? The Past of Meaning (Lost and Gained in Historical Translations) The Present Tense of Meaning (Underground Passages, The Cunning of Reason and the Return of Virtues) The Future of Meaning (Cultural Revolutions, Social Transformations and the Struggle Between Truths and Democracies Instead of Conclusions: Managerial Philosophies and Mirrors of Organizational Cultures
Synopsis
Historical translations and underground transfers of knowledge and values between cultural domains merit more attention. This book discusses the past, present and future of meaning. It shows how management of meaning in organizations fuels sociocultural evolution in complex societies, changing semantic fields of possible meanings ahead. The author examines skeletons in the scientific closet. How did we learn to be ignorant about the non-Western giants on whose shoulders we stand? Why did our elites speak Latin and Greek, sometimes Hebrew, but never Arabic? This book examines patterns of sensemaking processes underlying cultural diversity. Is there a future for critical management studies? Many claim that 'the MBA is dead'. But are academic communities self-reflexively alive and critically kicking?

- u***u (677)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.
- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
- i***t (265)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseStaff were excellent communicators and gave top notch customer service to ensure correct copy sent from overseas. Postage reasonable against other US booksellers (most now charging inflated post-covid rates) & for a heavy book. Even had tracking! Book arrived immaculately packed, still partly in shrink wrap and new (small marks only)- purchase exceeded all expectations (especially happy considering a $$$ art book). Highly recommend this seller 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Cynthia Daignault: Light Atlas (GREGORY R. MILL), Campany, David,Nemerov, Alexan (#375563703219)
