This book is a bridge between the technical literature of
administrative theory and philosophical discourse. It is needed
because an adequate axiology (value theory) of administration is
ignored by the former and lacking in the latter. That value theory
is necessary to leadership and administration follows directly from
decision making and policy formulation, and indirectly from
post-modern conditions and context. Moreover, leadership requires
self knowledge and motivational insight. The knowledge of good and
evil as a critical component of administrative thought ought not to
be denied by any technocratic asepsis.
Central themes include organization and administrative theory,
decisions and policy making, hierarchy, leadership, power, values,
interests. Particular attention is paid to pathologies, ideologies,
and the problems of praxis. A robust value theory is presented
together with its implications both for the common interest and for
personal value auditing. A unique feature of the book is its
concurrent presentation in aphoristic form of a general
propositional logic of administration.
The work is the consolidation of a quarter century of research,
teaching, and publication in the subject field. Drawing upon this
body of knowledge the author reconstructs a definitive text along
with the extensive new material, notably in the areas of polemic
management, ideology, value auditing, and leadership critique.
