Building upon decades of research, this shortform book distils the
rise of management's gurus. The author analyses the economic and
political changes which facilitated the rise of this new group and
offers reflections on the controversies around the development of
'guru theory' (a reasonably stable and enduring set of assumptions
and associated practices). The rise of management gurus is placed
in the context of critiques that the field is empty, insubstantial
and faddish. With reflections on the contours of 'the guru
industry' and insights into the world of "management speak", the
text highlights conceptual, methodological and empirical failings
and suggests a radical reconceptualisation of the
guru-as-performer. This concise book from a global expert on the
topic is essential reading for researchers of business and
management as well as an insightful addition to the wider social
science library.
