"It is a reference work clearly intended for school and college levels, but in its selection of entries and in the clear style of the entries, it does a good job in representing many of the key terms and ideas currently washing around in business and management culture and practice. A book such as this is like having a helpful expert at your elbow, one who has anticipated the kinds of queries you have when starting business and management studies."—Reference Reviews, August 1, 2008

"Business culture has permeated every facet of our daily lives. Phrases like glass ceiling, time management and 24/7 are part of our common vocabulary. In more than 100 A–Z entries, Maruca, a freelance business writer and editor, explores concepts, ideas, people, fads, themes, and issues that have become part of the business vernacular, shedding light on the dynamic ways in which business and society both influence and reflect each other. . . . Informative and entertaining, this set would be useful in helping business managers, frontline employees, students, and educators understand the workplace and the business world."—Booklist, August 1, 2008

"Entries in The Way We Work: An Encyclopedia of Business Culture do provide an interesting snapshot of today’s American office culture and topics ranging from E-mail to Killer App and Napster show how technology has pervaded our business culture."—ARBA, March 1, 2009
