This is a landmark study of the modern American business organization, based on the experience of middle mangers in a large but troubled California bank. It offers fascinating sociological insights into the process of managerial reorganization, along with a trenchant analysis of policies seeking to promote economic and organizational flexibility. The book should be read by sociologists, anthropologists, and economists, as well as anyone interested in the future of business management in the United States."—Sanford Jacoby, Graduate School of Management, University of California, Los Angeles   "Vicki Smith's book is an invaluable and unique contribution to emerging literature on postindustrial organizations. Critically examining the prospects and dilemmas of middle management in an age of corporate restructuring, she effortlessly links the politics, economics, and sociology of corporate life to explore the dynamics of the modern corporation. I recommend this book to everyone—economists, sociologists, and managers—who wants to understand how a postindustrial economy is created."—Larry Hirschhorn, Wharton Center for Applied Research
