For all the talk about virtualization, e-business, and post-capitalism, little has been written about how these ideas affect they way in which the new and old merge. This book is an ecellent discussion of the "renewal paradox." ...how stable companies try to integrate unstable project teams in thier fold and try to make both work. The choice, the authors argue, is not one or the other ---but both together. This work is very well articulated and provides excellent fodder for thought to researchers and managers alike. Although this book is authored by four collaborators, not once did I feel that in reading it. Although many references are in Swedish, there are still many gems of literature that the authors provide pointers to. Very highly recommneded.
