The Politics of Management Knowledge by Stewart R Clegg

The Politics of Management Knowledge by Stewart R Clegg

Explores 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. This title addresses the social and political processes involved in cross-cultural transference of management ideas across the world.

`A valuable collection of readings which will assist both academics and practising managers who are seeking clarification on the themes and language of postmodernism as a framework for interpreting management knowledge - one most likely to assist management educators gain further insights into a field which is being recognised as extensive and complex′ - Financial Times, New Delhi

`I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in critical approaches to management′ - Asia Pacific Business Review

`The reader will find a number of stimulating analyses of management practices′ - European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology

`The Politics of Management Knowledge explores the relations between management knowledge, power and practice within the context of globalisation... [the book] presents open discussion on a range of issues, identification of advantages and disadvantages of various perspectives followed by the identification of possible criteria for choosing a solution. There is a constant ideology throughout that is averse to adopting one model, rather the need for flexibility and creative lateral thinking is encouraged in the reader. Overall I feel that this is an interesting read which could benefit many academics and students′ - School Leadership and Management
