Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Drawing upon a range of influential contemporary movements in the social sciences such as the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School, this text provides a wide-ranging analysis of management and its various specialisms.The book offers critical understandings of key areas of management theory and practice such as: accounting; strategic management; marketing; business ethics; and environmental management. The leading international contributors also examine:- the relations between power and discursive practices in the modern corporation- the role of architecture as a repressive and emancipatory force in organizations- gender and organizations and critical methodology for organizational research. Key issues of power/knowledge relations across these areas are addressed and new agendas both for these fields and for management studies as a whole are introduced.Contributing authors include: Mats Alvesson, Gibson Burrell, David Cooper, Karen Dale, Stan Deetz, Linda Forbes, John Forester, John Jermier, David Levy, Joanne Martin, Glenn Morgan, Martin Parker, Mike Power, Richard Loughlin and Hugh Willmott
