N2  - This provocative and engaging perspective on organizations and organization studies comes from one of the most original of contemporary writers in the field. Skeptical of scientific claims and explanations of the social world, Barbara Czarniawska advocates an approach that draws on narrative, literary theory, cultural studies, and anthropology, rather than positivist social science
