| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | "This unique volume focuses on management as it is--a complex set of social and symbolic processes--often characterized by considerable ambiguity and paradox. In particular, Understanding Management contains a body of work concerned with building an experience-based grounded description and understanding of the processes of management and managing. The contributors to this volume explore and illuminate various themes including, the dynamics, subtleties, and complexities of managerial life; its informal, as well as formalized features and practices; and the significance of the cultural and symbolic in organizations. Concentrating on the meanings and relationship between managerial talk, thought, and action, the contributors examine issues like culture, myth, ritual, totem, and taboo. Drawing from both new and established anthropological concepts, this volume provides an in-depth analysis that enables the reader to understand the nature of managing. Understanding Management represents a fascinating and invaluable resource for all those studying, teaching, and researching management, and for those in organization theory, organization behavior, the sociology and psychology of organizations, and general management studies" -- Publisher's information. |
