Description

Explore the deep connection between management theory and identity in The Social Construction of Management: Texts and Identities. Part of the Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society series, this book examines how the people who become managers develop their professional identities through the texts they read. Drawing on principles from cultural studies, this work explores the active relationship between a text and its reader. It moves beyond the idea of passive reading to show how management textbooks actually help form the identity of the reader. By analyzing textbooks published since the 1950s, the author reveals how these materials construct a specific version of reality. This study provides a unique look at how management literature presents a world where chaos is managed through strong leadership. It is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in sociology, anthropology, and the organizational structures that shape our modern working world.
