Review Quotes: Indigenous Management's multitude of contributors show and tell a dizzying variety of particular and local Indigenous ways to organize, united by the belief that management isn't and should not be the same the world over. A startlingly generous feast of a book for a low carbon, high inclusion, high democracy world. We need it now more than ever. Martin Parker Professor of Organisation, University of Bristol, and author of Tear Down the Business School
Powerful and timely; rooted in relationships, place, and collective responsibility; full of colour and inspiration. Indigenous Management offers evidence-informed challenges to everything we've been taught and thought about management. I loved reading this book and learnt so much. Sally Everett Professor of Business Education & Director, I-LEAD, King's College London
As the world fractures and polarizes, this book offers a beacon of hope and possibility. It asks us to look beyond ourselves as individuals and to see the 'connections between' ourselves, land, animals, and nature. These ideas are exactly what should be guiding the future of management. Pratima (Tima) Bansal Canada Research Chair in Business Sustainability, Ivey Business School.
Indigenous Management is a powerful weaving of Indigenous scholarship, reminding us that leadership and management is grounded in relationships, responsibility, and care for people and place. It challenges dominant management thinking and points toward relational ways of organising that sustain both communities and the worlds we share. Dr Sisikula Palutea Sisifa University of Auckland Business School, and Fofonga: Pacific Research Excellence Platform Research Catalyst
This book is a treasury of hope and knowledge. The best collection so far produced of Indigenous contributions to management, created by scores of Indigenous peoples and their allies from all corners of the world. As Leroy Little Bear notes in an early chapter, "There is a groundswell among Indigenous Peoples who say it is time to come full circle...to go back to our lodges and bring out our own ways". Let the drums be played! Budd L Hall Co-Chair, UNESCO Chair in Community-Based Research and Social Responsibility in Higher Education, and Centre for Global Studies, University of Victoria
A global collection of world-class scholarship that challenges the reader to consider how Indigenous cultures should shape the development of organizations, Indigenous Management provides insight into how leaders can create culturally appropriate environments that enhance economic and social well-being.
Ian O. Williamson Paul Merage School of Business, UC IrvineIndigenous Management is a wonderful achievement. It refuses the false choice between universal theory and local knowledge, showing instead how many grounded, living Indigenous frameworks can enlarge and deepen our understanding of management. This is a book of major significance for anyone who wants to rethink organization in more intelligent, responsible, and genuinely human terms.
