For more than thirty years the solution to all Britain's problems
has been better management. As a result management schools now
dominate higher education and managers are at work everywhere
developing 'strategies', delivering 'systems' and defining
quantifiable 'outcomes'. The consummation of the process has been
New Labour's 'rebranding' of Britain as afully manageable
commodity.
Yet, strangely, things often seem worse organised than before.
There are noe more managers on the rail network than train drivers,
yet the benefits of modern management of railways, schools,
hospitals, universitys, art centres, BBC, churches . . . are hard
to find.
This is because there is one flaw in the great vision of a
managed society: 'management' does not exist--the academic study of
'management science' and the assumtion that there are universal
management skills are bogus. This book shows how modern managment
practicea have all but destroyed politics, education, culture and
religion--modern manaement is not the cure but the cause of many of
our national ills.
