Inhaltsangabe

If power is not a figure of the past, at least its classical forms and dynamics should be entirely rethought. The demise of bureaucracy is viewed as the unassailable consequence of contemporary political and business dynamics.

Läs mer
This book seeks to understand precisely how current organizations are governed, based on the analysis of three managerial reforms: the implementation of marketing practices in the banking sector, project management, and the management of competences in the field of hrm. The book grapples with the eternal and controversial issue of power distribution and political regimes of organizations in turbulent times. The author puts forward a rejuvenated notion of soft bureaucracy and despotism which might be representative of current political regimes in business organizations.
