Upending traditional organizational theory and distinctions between high and low culture, Rhodes (organization studies, U. of Technology, Sydney, Australia) and Westwood (U. of Queensland Business School) read the The Simpsons, British sitcoms, Bruce Springsteens lyrics on working life, Blade Runner and other postmodern films, and such popular management books as The Dilbert Principle as embodiments of insights about capitalist organizations. In exploring the critical potential of such knowledge, they point out how pop culture can serve as social critique in "mimetic excess" of what it is representing. ., they discuss the ways in which the Beavis and Butthead cartoon series satirizes the McDonalization (. homogenization) of culture. Portions of the volume have been presented in various guises elsewhere. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ().
