John W. (jrw) reviewed Corporate Cults: The Insidious Lure of the All-Consuming Organization on + 33 more book reviews
The concept behind the book is interesting and the parallels between corporations and cults are compelling, but the book lacks the insight I was hoping for. Despite the fact that it is a business style book somewhat antithetical to business, the book doesn't use common, powerful ways to convey the idea as in similar books. I would have preferred to have seen figures and charts more interesting than two circles connected by a double-headed arrow. Only three of the twelve chapters were well constructed; Corporate Cults could have enjoyed a different editor to organize the argument better and cut out the fat.
