The notion that management knowledge is universal, culture-neutral,
readily transferable to any country or situation, has come under
mounting challenge. The Politics of Management Knowledge goes
beyond such `broad-brush' assertions to explore in detail the
relations between management knowledge, power and practice in a
world where globalization highlights, rather than obscures, the
locally specific character of many management recipes. The book
recognizes the political nature of management knowledge as a
discourse produced from, and reproducing, power processes within
and between organizations. This theme underpins discussion of the
ways in which management ideas and practices `produce' managers of
a particular kind - person of enterprise, bureaucrat, heroic leader
and so on. Critical examinations of certain current management
theories - lean production, excellence, entrepreneurship -
illuminate the myriad modes in which relations of power intermingle
with relations of knowledge. Eminent authors from a variety of
countries address the social and political processes involved in
cross-cultural transference of management ideas across the world.
They also look to the future, stressing the need for a substantial
new understanding that is less attuned to the corporate worlds of
today and more appropriate for the increasingly diverse
organizations likely to emerge in the twenty-first century.
