Secrecy at Work: The Hidden Architecture of Organizational Life

By Jana Costas, Christopher Grey, Christopher Grey

Book Overview

Authors Jana Costas and Christopher Grey argue that secrecy constitutes a "hidden architecture" that underlies all organizations. Drawing on previously overlooked texts in organizational theory, as well as innovative readings of well-known classics, they show how secrecy creates a social order, establishing boundaries between insiders and outsiders that ubiquitously shape organizational decision-making and behavior.
