First published in 1998, readers of this volume will get a good
overview of research into managerial work. They will learn about:
what the researchers have studied; what methods have been used and
the criticisms of the limitations of individual methods; the
different concepts that have been developed; what has been learnt
about managerial work and behaviour from these studies over the
years; how this field of study has developed; the main criticisms
made of the research; suggestions for future research and future
developments. Studies of managerial work have a long history: the
first major work was by Sune Carlson in Sweden in 1951 and studies
have continued to the present day, mainly in the USA and the UK.
The early studies sought to find out what managers actually did, as
distinct from the generalized theories of the nature of managerial
work. They were part of the new interest of social scientists in
finding out what actually happened in organizations in opposition
to the general theories that prevailed then. Articles cannot give a
complete picture of the field studies that have been such a notable
feature of this branch of research, because Carlson's study, like
many of the later ones, was published only as a book. However, they
provide all the information that students and researchers need to
understand the aim, methods and approaches used by researchers so
far and a good guide to the varied possibilities for developing
this area of study.
