Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Managers are significant actors in contemporary organizations and yet there is very little deep-level analysis of what managers do, and how they understand their managerial selves and social situations. Instead of evaluating management techniques according to their internal logic and systematic qualities, this book advances the 'practice perspective', using behaviour and activities of successful, experienced, and skilled managers as the primary data for theorizinggood management.In this book, academics review classic literature on managerial work, discuss methodological and theoretical approaches, and present empirical studies on variouskinds of managers at different levels of organizations, in different roles, and different sectors, from construction site managers and CEOs of large companies to university vice chancellors and front-line health care managers. It makes the case for studies of managerial work that look beyond the rational and ordered world to the challenges presented by, inter alia, work and information overload, complexity, performance pressures, unintended consequences, and irreconcilable expectations. The book provides an overview of research, theory, and methodology on the realities of managerial work and presents a number of empirical studies on various kinds of managers within different sectors and at different levels of organizations. It uses the behaviour and activities of successful managers as primary data for a theory of good management. This item is printed on demand.
