ABSTRACT
Since the introduction of the printing press, books have been one of the major channels through which scholarly insight has been conveyed to practitioners outside the academy. Indeed, almost every professor of management secretly hopes that someday a book bearing his or her name will grace the tables of professionals not simply within the academy, but also within offices in organizations.
