Review Poetic Logic of Administration: Styles and Changes of Style in the Art of Organizing (Management, Organizations and Society) / Routledge:The Poetic Logic of Administration offers a new and challenging picture of these organizational forms. Dificult to capture in common logical terms, they appear to follow a certain pattern - a "poetic logic". The forms are enacted in various ways and are marked by different conceptions of the world, such as the metaphorical and the ironical, and by different explanatory ideas.

Review International Handbook on Privatization / Edward Elgar Publishing:Privatization has dominated industrial restructuring programmes since the 1980s and continues to do so. This handbook considers all aspects of this key issue, including the theory of privatization; privatization in transition, developed and developing economies; and the economic regulation of privatized industries. The studies in this volume, introduced by international experts in the field, present evidence of the scope and effects of privatization, and consequently provide the basis for improving both policy formulation and implementation. However, they also emphasize that privatization is not an end in itself. It is argued that for privatization to be worthwhile and for lasting economic efficiency gains to be achieved, supporting reforms must accompany most privatization programmes, particularly in the arenas of corporate governance and capital markets, product market competition and state regulatory processes. Furthermore, several contributors demonstrate that the degree to which ownership and market liberalization can be usefully separated and whether privatization without either competition or effective regulation is worthwhile, remain controversial issues.

Review Private Equity and Management Buy-outs / Edward Elgar Publishing:`A selection of very interesting perspectives on private equity from a collection of leading academics. ' - Guy Fraser-Sampson, author of Private Equity as an Asset Class `This book is a timely and important collection of papers on the financial and real effects of private equity. It is crucial that policymakers know the evidence on these transactions, as opposed to the folklore that permeates the popular press. This comprehensive and penetrating collection of studies frames and answers the most important questions policymakers are asking about private equity. ' - Donald S. Siegel, University at Albany, SUNY, US Private Equity and Management Buy-outs provides a balanced view of the often polarized private equity debate. This careful and objective analysis of the presence of private equity in buy-out firms reviews the effects of this ownership transfer in terms of firm performance and survival, thus placing private equity in a broader context of implications for value creation. The analysis provides an overview of international trends in private equity and develops a conceptual framework for understanding the heterogeneity of private equity deals. Systematic evidence from large-scale studies of private equity and buy-outs are used to shed light on short- and longer-term economic and social effects. For the first time the broader scope of the key issues now facing private equity and buy-outs are brought together in the contributions herein. [+]The book includes highlights such as: * empirical evidence on a special organizational form of private equity; * examination of backed buy-outs (perspectives from strategy, finance, HRM and management accounting); * discussion on the level of PE involvement; * challenging further debate on economic and social key issues regarding policy implications and a future research agenda. Academics and researchers - postgraduate and above - in business schools and schools of economics will find this book enlightening. It will also hold great interest for practitioners in the fields of mergers and acquisitions, general, strategic and financial management, and corporate entrepreneurship and corporate governance.
