Published in 1998, this collection of essays on the management of
healthcare look at topics such as: income, distribution and life
expectancy; internal market reform of the National Health Service;
the changing nature of the medical profession; and doctors as
managers.
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.

Managing in Britain and Germany compares British and German
managers' behaviour and views of their work, and seeks to explain
the differences. Based on a two year comparative study by British
and German research teams, the book challenges the universal view
of management presented in so many management books, by showing how
differently German middle managers think and act. These differences
are then unravelled and traced back to their various roots: ranging
from the particular (nature of the job, product or organisation) to
the general (the society's institutions and values). Written by
leading management experts from Britain and Germany, the book
provides useful lessons and insights for practising managers and
for those studying management everywhere.
Twelve lively accounts are given, based on searching interviews, of
very different kinds of managerial jobs. They paint a picture of
what the job is like, the work that the individual does, and how he
or she feels about it. The jobs are compared and lessons are drawn
for career guidance, selection and management development as well
as how far managerial skills are transferable. The accounts can
also be used as case studies and questions are provided for
students.
