Secrecy at Work : The Hidden Architecture of Organizational Life Hardback
by Christopher Grey, Jana Costas
Hardback
- Information
Description
Secrecy is endemic within organizations, woven into the fabric of our lives at work.
Yet, until now, we've had an all-too-limited understanding of this powerful organizational force.
Secrecy is a part of work, and keeping secrets is a form of work.
But also, secrecy creates a social order—a hidden architecture within our organizations.
Drawing on previously overlooked texts, as well as well-known classics, Jana Costas and Christopher Grey identify three forms of secrecy: formal secrecy, as we see in the case of trade and state secrets based on law and regulation; informal secrecy based on networks and trust; and public or open secrecy, where what is known goes undiscussed.
Animated with evocative examples from scholarship, current events, and works of fiction, this framework presents a bold reimagining of organizational life.
