Description
Contemporary thinking about management is still frequently presented as a set of universal, eternal verities. In this fascinating book Roy Jacques presents a discursive history of industrial work relationships in the United States which powerfully demonstrates that they are not.
A central concern is to show that current `common-sense′ in management forms an historically and culturally specific way of thinking about work and society which is often inappropriate for `managing for the twenty-first century′. The author is equally interested in revealing the cultural basis for American management ideas, currently exported round the world as an objective science, disconnected from its cultural and historical roots.
