Additional text

This insightful book provides a rich and extensive treatment of time and organizations through relating four mutually constitutive temporal dimensions -- events, experiences, resources, and practices. The result is an integrated and dynamic understanding of time as entailing the active interweaving of past, present, and future. This is a generative approach to time that will offer scholars an invaluable guide to examining temporal dynamics in organizing.
