Managing Identity
A. Pullen Β· 2005
62/100
π Skip It
A legitimate academic monograph on managerial identity in postmodern organizations, grounded in qualitative research and cited in the SAGE Handbook, but its value is almost entirely confined to graduate organizational behavior courses and scholars already fluent in poststructuralist theory. General readers and practitioners without that background will find it inaccessible, and the evidence base for broader utility is sparse. Worthwhile for its narrow scholarly audience only.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
