In this book, Mauro F. Guillen explores differing historical
patterns in the adoption of the three major models of
organizational management: scientific management; human relations;
and structural analysis. Moving beyond Reinhard Bendix's "Work and
Authority", "Models of Management" takes a fresh look at how
managers have used these models in four countries during the 20th
century. Guillen's study of two liberal-democratic societies (the
United States and Great Britain) and two corporatist societies
(Germany and Spain) reveals significant differences in the way
managerial elites and firms have adopted the three models. His data
show that ideas themselves - independent of material interests and
technology - can cause organizational change. Throughout the book,
contrasts between modernist-technocratic and liberal-humanist
mentalities, as well as between Protestant and Catholic religious
backgrounds, emerge as decisive factors in determining managerial
ideology and practice. In addition to analyzing management methods
in organizations, Guillen explores larger issues: the interaction
among managerial, government and labour elites; the impact of the
state and the professions on managerial behaviour; and the role
that managers play in modern societies. This book won the Marvin B.
Sussman Prize, Yale University and the President's Book Award,
Social Science History Association.
