What makes this book a unique innovative source full of surprising
insights is that management panaceas are examined by most competent
scholars. In highly readable chapters it is pointed out what it
takes to successfully adapt panaceas to different contexts.
Adaptation is necessary since management panaceas are all but
'all-healing' and without contextualization they lose their
persuasive power which is a crucial ingredient for their healing
power.' - Alfred Kieser, Mannheim University and Research Zeppelin
University, GermanyOver time management ideas and panaceas have
been presented alternately as quick fix cures for all corporate
ills and the emperor's new clothes, beset by flaws and problems.
This Handbook provides a different approach, suggesting that
management ideas and panaceas should not be either adopted or
rejected outright, but gives guidance in the art of assessing and
applying management ideas and panaceas to various situations and
contexts. The contributors discuss the ways in which researchers,
organizational actors and higher educational institutions can more
wisely test the relevance of management ideas and panaceas, and
adapt these to fit organizations in various contexts. They conclude
that, in order to accomplish wiser relevance-testing and
adaptation, there is a need for diversity, critical examination and
transparency. All students, scholars and researchers in management
and organization with an interest in the adaptation and translation
of management ideas and panaceas, will find this book to be of
interest. Reflective practitioners will find the focus on context
illuminating and helpful. Contributors: E. Abrahamson, C.
