Acknowledgements

This book results from a research project that started in September 2011. It would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of many people. The research center “Organization Studies” at the University of St. Gallen has provided a uniquely collegial and inspiring context for developing and writing this book. I particularly wish to thank Johannes Rüegg-Stürm, who sparked my interest in organization studies many years ago and who created ideal conditions for starting this project in the first place. He has been a tremendous source of inspiration, a mentor, and a supporting friend all along my academic career. I am also grateful for my collaboration with Harald Tuckermann, who has been an insightful and caring colleague for many years. Furthermore, I would like to thank the entire Organization Studies team for their continuous support, fun, and intellectual inspiration at numerous seminars and retreats in the Swiss mountains. I also wish to express my gratitude to the Avina Foundation for trusting in this project and to the University of St. Gallen
