Arguing to their exclusive education, managers deprive employers and employees of decision-making power and ensconce themselves systematically in the power structure of workplaces to advance their own interests and agenda. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe central thesis of \u003cem\u003eOvercoming Managerialism\u003c\/em\u003e is that resisting and overcoming managerialism necessitates the re-establishing of the conceptual distinction between power and authority. Second, it requires the rehabilitating of authoritative management as a protection against authoritarian practices. Authority, properly conceived, redirects power to technical experts and professionals and thereby limits managerial power. The authors discuss ten contentions which, taken together, represent a theory of the foundation of management in which authority, power and rhetoric are central concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book combines academic scholarship with a readable critique of managerialism. It will be of interest to both management scholars and students. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111358239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.50d","brand":"Robert Spillane, Jean-Etienne Joulli\u0026#233;","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43471294103733,"sku":"9783111358239","price":20.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2e11caa3-c4b2-4b27-ad56-5ae38061cad5.jpg?v=1704825569","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/overcoming-managerialism-power-authority-and-rhetoric-at-work-9783111358239","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
