Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[This] book sets out on a journey to determine the appropriate exercise of democratic authority in government in the private sector. While the journey is challenging, the book reaches the destination."--Jack H. Knott, Political Science Quarterly "Authority and Democracy is a tightly argued book. McMahon seeks to differentiate among three types of authority in private and public organizations: authority based on expertise, authority derived from promises, and authority developed as a result of engaging in a cooperative enterprise... this book draws important linkages among the writings on democracy, management theory, and employee self-ownership."--Choice
