Management ideas, and their associated applications, have become a
prevalent feature of our working lives. While their focus is
familiar, such as efficiency, motivation, and improvement, they
range from specific notions such as activity-based costing, to
broad movements like corporate social responsibility. This Handbook
brings together some of the latest research from leading
international scholars on how management ideas are produced,
promoted, and adapted, and their effects on business and working
practices and society at large. Rather than focusing on specific
management ideas, this volume explores their key socio-political
contexts and channels of dissemination, and is organized around
four core overlapping themes. The first section sets out the
research field in general, in terms of both an overall system and
of different perspectives and research methods. The second section
explores the role of different actors and channels of diffusion,
including the consumers and producers of management ideas and 'new'
media, as well as traditional players in the management ideas field
such as consultancies and business schools. The third section
focuses on specific features or dynamics of the management ideas
system, such as their adoption, evolution, institutionalisation,
and resurgence, while in the final section, critical and new
perspectives on management ideas are examined, highlighting
specific socio-political contexts and the possibility of
alternative ideas and forms of critique. With a broad range of
perspectives represented, this Handbook provides a comprehensive,
authoritative, and enduring resource for those studying management,
innovation, and organizational change, as well as for those working
in the management ideas industry.
