Yet, until now, we've had an all-too-limited understanding of this powerful organizational force. Secrecy is a part of work, and keeping secrets is a form of work. But also, secrecy creates a social order--a hidden architecture within our organizations. Drawing on previously overlooked texts, as well as well-known classics, Jana Costas and Christopher Grey identify three forms of secrecy: formal secrecy, as we see in the case of trade and state secrets based on law and regulation; informal secrecy based on networks and trust; and public or open secrecy, where what is known goes undiscussed. Animated with evocative examples from scholarship, current events, and works of fiction, this framework presents a bold reimagining of organizational life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford Business Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45409732198551,"sku":"9780804798143","price":2813.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780804798143.webp?v=1767149470","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/secrecy-at-work-the-hidden-architecture-of-organizational-life-9780804798143","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
