As a business owner I was particularly attracted by the real life examples, which were included, although, as a PhD student I was more interested in the academic references and theories. However the ideas for developing a more critical approach generally are likely to be useful to me in both spheres of my life. While this book seems primarily to be for Critical Management Studies researchers and students, anyone with an interest in critical perspectives of management could benefit from reading it.
Sophisticated, insightful, incisive and yet accessible, Making Sense of Management does exactly that: cuts through the claims and assumptions of mainstream understandings of management. Written by the pioneers of 'critical management studies', this new and substantially revised edition is indispensible reading for all at a time when both the power and the failure of conventional approaches to management are all too evidentChristopher GreyProfessor of Organizational Behaviour, University of Warwick
Excellent introduction to critical management studies.
A very thought-provoking edition to this text which offers both academics and middle/senior leaders a challenging series of 'thought pieces' on contemporary leadership and management. This revised work is timely in light of the apparent chaos and sometimes unscrupulous world of business leadership. The focus on a critical management approach is also vital in that it challenges conventional academic and practice based 'wisdoms' and demands that we raise our game in terms of management 'best practice' and our fundamental understanding of the process.
