As I read your comment I was thinking “this!” then I saw your book recommendation and chuckled, “Of course!”

What an important book.

Pleasantly surprised to meet someone else here that has read it! My management department at a major university has not!

It is somewhat telling that this book mostly gets cited by practitioners of CMS, Critical Management Studies, with a citation index in the hundreds.

Perhaps the explanation lies, as CMS luminary Alvesson puts it, in the basis of mainstream management research seeing itself as in the service of industry.
