A new issue of Administrative Science Quarterly is available online:

June 2015; Vol. 60, No. 2

Why do we do organizational research, and who are we doing it for? Our June 2015 issue kicks off with an essay that poses these questions and peers into our field's future. This issue's articles connect culture and creativity, link social comparisons to risk and change, advocate scut work, trace activism's ripple effects, and focus on framing. Our June online book reviews include an essay by Paul S. Adler-already the most-read piece on our website (asq.sagepub.com)-that links Karl Polanyi's theory of capitalism with Naomi Klein's wake-up call This Changes Everything, as well as reviews focused on public affairs consultants, the obsession with work, class cultures, and postcommunist credit card markets.
