Review Quotes:
'Have you ever wondered why Harvard Business Cases only offer Disneyesque accounts of successful companies? Where are the unhappy endings? Where are the stories of corporate corruption, union-busting and poor environmental practices that we see every day in the popular press? This brilliant book offers a fascinating and genre-breaking counterpoint to the traditional business school teaching case. Sauerbron, Fatien Diochon, Mills and Raufflet avoid the fairytale ending and offer the unvarnished insider view of modern business practices. The Dark Side 3 is a chilling but compelling read - a powerful pedagogical alternative for management education.'

'The Dark Side Case Study Book Series continues to provide a valuable learning resource for critical management educators everywhere. This latest volume provides an excellent and timely addition. The diversity of the case studies and the voices and interests that they represent is really impressive, and the accompanying analytical notes enable insightful theorization.'
