Experts' Reviews | Workplace Democratization by Paul Bernstein

". . . a terribly important and well-done piece of work. Its conceptualizing can short-cut a lot of ill-guided plodding that researchers on democratization are doing, or are about to start."

-- Prof. J. Richard Hackman, Yale University School of Management

". . . fascinating. It is well-done and, from my own observations, it is sound."

-- Prof Richard E. Walton, Harvard University School of Business

"Unlike most contributions in this area, Bernstein's work is not narrowly confined to the experience of one or a few societies, but is broadly comparative. Further, his analysis is not doctrinaire or ideological, but empirical and analytic."

-- Prof W. Richard Scott, Stanford University Department of Sociology

". . . an important work. It examines what appears to be an increasingly important issue and contributes considerable insight. It is well-written, especially the way cases are used to inductively derive a model. [Thus] in addition to its content, the book is very useful in illustrating a sophisticated use of case or clinical data in theory-building. On balance, ... an important scholarly contribution."

-- Prof James G. Hunt, College of Business Administration

". . . a very scholarly and innovative treatment of workplace democratization, and an excellent source of ideas and possibilities for research."

-- Prof. George England, Industrial Relations Center, University of Minnesota
