Power can be sometimes more visible, institutionalized, and legitimate, but also hidden, anarchic, illicit and even violent, erupting suddenly and disrupting organizational life. Issues related to power can be overt, covert or a mixture of both. However, all forms of power cast shadows, some sharp, others more obfuscated, with which individuals, organizations and societies must cope, or work around. Power can trigger subversion, attempting to undermine or putting up resistance against established authorities, institutions, and professional elites, mobilizing collective energies towards what is argued to be a greater good. Other countervailing processes can be characterized by persistence, marked by a &#8220;making do&#8221; attitude of agility, improvisation, and bricolage, backed by entrepreneurial spirit and informal networks. The exercise of power can be a potent means of improving productivity and growth. At the same time, it can result in exploitation and the creation of inequalities, often breeding fear and silence.<\/p>\n<p>Following up the successful Egos 2016 Colloquium held in Napoli, which has declined the broadly defined theme of power in a variety of parallel sessions, understanding and examining these processes underpins the general theme of this book.<\/p>\n<h1>Objective<\/h1>\n<p>This book wishes to depict a rich picture of extant research on the broad area of power, collecting some of the most promising contributions presented at Egos 2016 Colloquium by the Italian community of organizational scholars.
