Eirik J. Irgens is Professor of Educational Leadership at NTNU (the Norwegian University of Science and Technology). Irgens has published within organizational theory and change, professional development, educational leadership, organizational learning, and knowledge management.
`In this book Irgens offers a fresh take on organizational understanding by being among the first writers to transpose Cassirer's thinking to organization studies. The idea of consistently exploring organizational richness while not losing sight of the organizational surface is challenging and promising for management education as well as for consulting. The book adds to our understanding of organization as process.'- Tor Hernes, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.
