A New History of Management (Hardcover): Stephen Cummings, Todd Bridgman, John Hassard, Michael Rowlinson A New History of Management (Hardcover)
Stephen Cummings, Todd Bridgman, John Hassard, Michael Rowlinson
R3,409 Discovery Miles 34 090 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Existing narratives about how we should organize are built upon, and reinforce, a concept of 'good management' derived from what is assumed to be a fundamental need to increase efficiency. But this assumption is based on a presentist, monocultural, and generally limited view of management's past. A New History of Management disputes these foundations. By reassessing conventional perspectives on past management theories and providing a new critical outline of present-day management, it highlights alternative conceptions of 'good management' focused on ethical aims, sustainability, and alternative views of good practice. From this new historical perspective, existing assumptions can be countered and simplistic views disputed, offering a platform from which graduate students, researchers, and reflective practitioners can develop alternative approaches for managing and organizing in the twenty-first century.

Reshaping Work - The Cadbury Experience (Paperback): Christopher Smith, John Child, Michael Rowlinson Reshaping Work - The Cadbury Experience (Paperback)
Christopher Smith, John Child, Michael Rowlinson; Foreword by Sir Adrian Cadbury
R1,219 Discovery Miles 12 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book is concerned with the management of organisational change. It focuses on Cadbury Ltd and provides an in-depth study of change within this famous British company. Cadbury Ltd is famous for its pioneering personnel management. One of the purposes of this study is to assess how this established company ethos facilitated change by examining the development and implementation of a capital investment programme that radically changed working practices at the company's Bournville plant in Birmingham. At a more general level the authors develop a theory of organisational change that emphasises the interaction between external market forces and internal management action. This approach unites an emphasis on the structural parameters that limit a firm's capacity for independent change, with a recognition of the vital role performed by influential members of an organisation in initiating and managing change. This book will be of interest to teachers and students of business history, organisational behaviour, industrial relations and industrial sociology.
