3 Megaproject Leaders Reflections on Personal Life Stories Edited by Nathalie Drouin, Université du Québec à Montréal (ESG UQAM), Canada; University of Technology Sydney, Australia; KHEOPS, International Research Consortium on the Governance of Large Infrastructure Projects, and International Journal of Managing Projects in Business, Shankar Sankaran, University of Technology Sydney, Australia, Alfons van Marrewijk, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, BI Norwegian Business School, Oslo, Norway and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Ralf Müller, BI Norwegian Business School, Oslo, Norway ‘The management of megaprojects is one of the most fascinating themes in project management. We witness an increasing amount of research and publications dedicated to megaprojects – but the research documents a criminal negligence of the key people that drive, shape and influence the success or failure of megaprojects. This new book makes a fundamental difference. It focuses on the key people, who jointly manage successfully very complex megaprojects.’ – Hans Georg Gemünden, Professor Emeritus of Technology and Innovation Management, TU Berlin, Germany Feb 2021 c 336 pp Hardback 978 1 78990 296 9 c £100.00 eBook • Elgaronline New Horizons in Organization Studies series Robotization of Work? Answers from Popular Culture, Media and Social Sciences Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and Bernward Joerges, Technical University Berlin and WZB, Berlin Social Science Center, Germany ‘Within the rapidly proliferating field of social studies of cybernetics this brilliant book stands out in several ways. It revisits the epistemology of autopoiesis by unearthing how popular culture, science fiction and cybernetics co- constitute each other since the 1920’s. In doing so this book on imaginaries and technological developments ingeniously translates one of the key problems of knowing the world into a down-to-earth empirical investigation of the various literatures and films on the robotization of work. While most recent publications that similarly aim to address the core issues of cybernetics surrender to the urge of making prophecies, Czarniawska and Joerges consequentially remain astute, sober and razor-sharp and thereby provocatively interrupt a current trend. The elegant precision of the argument and the clarity of the language deployed makes this erudite and yet modest book come as a relief when one feels overwhelmed by the high-flown premonitions surrounding us.’ – Richard Rottenburg, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa 2020 144 pp Hardback 978 1 83910 094 9 £65.00 Jan 2021 Paperback 978 1 80088 247 8 £21.95 • eBook • Elgaronline Sexual Harassment, the Abuse of Power and the Crisis of Leadership “Superstar” Harassers and how to StopThem James K.
