    The Leading Journal in the Field: Destabilizing Authority in the Social Sciences of Management
    (Colchester : MayFly, 2010., 2010) Jackson, Norman; Carter, Pippa; Butler, Nick; Armstrong, Peter (Ed.); Lightfoot, Geoff (Ed.)
    I am often told, “Don’t waste your time reading books, you’d be better off reading the leading journals in your field.” Unfortunately, the authors of this book have closely read some of those articles: examining arguments, with simple principles and words, plus a touch of irony – and a shared belief in ideas and debates. The suspicions that we all have in a part of our head appears in its ugly nakedness: what is this social game that authors in leading management journals play? What grants them their truth effects? This is a book that one should read the day one enters the academic field; and then regularly thereafter so as not to forget.’ Professor Jean-Luc Moriceau, Telecom Business School (France)
