| Summary |
"By revealing a post-modern turn in management textbooks, The Social Construction of Management is both a critical and empirical study that explores the constitution of managerial identities in the age of mass education in management. An exciting contribution to the growing body of knowledge within critical management studies, this book challenges the way we think about organizations and their management, and about management education as a whole. This is thought-provoking reading for anyone studying management, or working in the managerial organization."--BOOK JACKET |
