`A truly bizarre and sometimes filthy historical canter through abatoirs,
satyriasis and Noel Edmonds' House Party, among other things, towards a theory
of organisation' - The Times

'The author pursues a vigorous polemic on organisational development' -
Financial Times

In this irreverent and inventive book, Gibson Burrell seeks to circumvent the
established frameworks which have defined our understanding of organization
and organizations. He brings us tales from under the edge which enmire us in
the nether side of modernist organization.

By looking backwards deep into the history of Western societies, and sideways
across the broad domain of social and cultural theory, Pandemonium disconcerts
and invigorates the domain of the study of organizations.

Through his experimental device of the two-directional text, Burrell offers
multi-layered meanings and a metaphor for the rejection of linearity. This is
not an organizational behaviour textbook but an exploration that will take
organization theory into a new era.
