The "managerial revolution," or the rise of management as a
distinct and vital group in industrial society, might be identified
as a major development of the modernization processes, similar to
the scientific and industrial revolutions. Studying "transnational"
or "global" corporate management at the post-millennium moment
provides a suitable focal point from which to investigate
globalized (post)modernity and capitalism especially, and as such
this book offers an anthropology of global capitalism at its moment
of crisis. This study provides ethnographically rich descriptions
of managerial practices in a set of international corporate
investment projects. Drawing also on historical and statistical
data, it renders a comprehensive perspective on management,
corporations, and capitalism in the late modern globalized economy.
Cross-disciplinary in outlook, the book spans the fields of
organization, business, and management, and asserts that now, in
this period of financial crisis, is the time for anthropology to
yet again engage with political economy.
