PETER STOKES is Professor of Sustainable Management, Marketing and Tourism at Chester Business School, University of Chester, UK. His research interests are broadly situated in the areas of management and organization theory and interconnect with fields as diverse as, by way of example, marketing, training and development/tourism, doctoral study, genocide and militarization.

'Much of the most important - even the most useful - contribution to Management Studies in recent years has come from critical theorists. However, there is a problem with their language. Because they have had something new to say, they have often resorted to new words or phrases, or new uses of existing words and phrases, to make their point. A tradition of playful use of language has exacerbated this problem for those new to the field. This book will give newcomers an insight into the language of critical management studies, as well as suggesting how to follow up on concepts. It will be equally useful to those of us who have been around for a time but have never cracked some of our colleagues' codes.' - David Sims, City University, UK
