Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis (2014)
Journal Article
Reedy, P. (2014). Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis. Ephemera: Theory and Politics in Organization, 14(4), 639-658

Organisational scholarship tends to focus its attention mainly on conventional work organisations and so neglects the organisational practices and principles of other sites of organising.
