This book deals with the processes and theories involved in
managing military organisations in both peacetime and crisis
conditions.
Examining the challenges faced by policymakers and military
commanders in conducting military operations, this book considers
the benefits of conventional management and organisation theory for
the military. At the same time, these essays recognise that the
military should be considered as a highly individual organisation,
operating in exceptional circumstances. This awareness of the
differences between the military and other organisations generates
important lessons not only for the military but also for general
organisations as it teaches them how to cope in exceptional,
'hyper' conditions. These theoretical lessons are illustrated by
case studies and experiences from recent military operations, such
as those in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This book will be of great interest to students of military
studies, security studies and organizational studies.
