Reviews
""Turbulence" is not only a masterful, detailed study of ten years of dramatic organizational change at Boeing. It is also a story of how American managers and workers can cope with the fierce pressures of global economic competition, seeking both high productivity and a decent workplace."--Benjamin I. Page, Gordon Scott Fulcher Professor of Decision Making, Northwestern University--Benjamin I. Page (07/06/2010)
"The mix of qualitative and quantitative analysis is admirable and well done, a credit to the authors. The power of the work comes from an unusual, perhaps unique, empirical data-base looking at what actually happens to employees living through massive corporate change."--Jim Collins, author of "Built to Last", "Good to Great", and "How the Mighty Fall"--Jim Collins (07/15/2010)
""Turbulence" traces the history of corporate restructuring and its consequences through the experience of an iconic US company. A fascinating read."--Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management; Director, Center for Human Resources at The Wharton School and Professor of Education, University of Pennsylvania
