A fundamental problem of public sector governance relates to the
very way of thinking it reflects; where organization is thought of
as a 'thing', a system designed to deliver what its designers
choose. This volume questions that way of thinking and takes a
perspective in which organizations are complex responsive processes
of relating between people. Bringing together the work of
participants on the Doctor of Management program at Hertfordshire
University, this book focuses on the move to marketization and
managerialism, paying particular attention to human relationships
and group dynamics. The contributors provide narrative accounts of
their work addressing questions of management, pressures,
accountability, responsiveness and traditional systems
perspectives. In considering such questions in terms of their daily
experience, they explore how the perspective of complex responsive
processes assists them in making sense of experience and developing
practice. Including an editors' commentary which introduces and
contextualizes these experiences as well as drawing out key themes
for further research, this book will be of value to academics,
students and practitioners looking for reflective accounts of real
life experiences rather than further prescriptions of what
organizational life ought to be.
