’Editing collective works is demanding but can be equally or more rewarding than writing an entire book alone. Czarniawska, in this case, had no choice: she alone could not have written the agenda of the whole field. Thus she played the role of the editor, and did so in an exemplary way, carefully choosing the contributors, conceiving the right structure, and managing to draw from each author pieces, or tiles, which resulted in an extraordinary mosaic: a complete and bright vista of what the field of Management and Organization Studies is today and will become in the future.'
