Popular Management Books

This book is a timely and radical critique of the quick-fix solutions offered by popular management books. Features include: Detailed criticism of the ideological hegemony of North American managerial discourse An interrogation of books by leading populist management gurus such as Tom Peters, Richard Normann and Robert Waterman An institutional approach to the creation, diffusion and consumption of management knowledge The implications for organisations of acting on popular managerial discourse Popular Management Books is a much needed corrective to the under-researched truisms of many management books.
