Changing Paradigms: The Transformation of Management Knowledge for the 21st Century

Management paradigms, the system of ideas by which managers understand and act upon the economic world, have undergone a rapid process of transformation in recent years. Throughout the world a more sophisticated, cerebral approach to rethinking companies is apparent, and a familiarity with a variety of management theories is often required by managers in response to the rapid evolution of the business environment. "Changing Paradigms" explains how current developments in management ideas relate to traditional forms of management thought and practice, and examines which paradigms are likely to be durable in the next century. In highly competitive environments, those who succeed are often unencumbered by past paradigms, and fully engaged in inventing new paradigms of business. This book constitutes an analytical study of management innovation and business strategy.

Management paradigms, the system of ideas by which managers understand and act upon in the economic world, have undergone a rapid process of transformation in recent years. Throughout the business world management thinking is becoming more sophisticated. A cerebral approach to rethinking companies is apparent, and a familiarity with a variety of management theories is often required by practising managers in response to the rapid evolution of the business environment. This work seeks to explain how current developments in management ideas relate to traditional forms of management thought and practice, and examines which paradigms are likely to be durable in the next century.

This study, first published in 1986, provides a systematic account of the processes and structure of class formation in the major advanced capitalist societies. The focus is on the organizational mechanisms of class cohesion and division, theoretically deriving from a neo-Marxian perspective. Chapters consider the organization and structure of the ‘corporate ruling class’, the middle class and the working class, and are brought together in an overarching analysis of the organization of class in relation to the state and the economy. This title will be of particular interest to students researching the impact of recession on societal structure and the processes of political class struggle, as well as those with a more general interest in the socio-economic theories of Marx, Engels and Weber.

In this book the author develops a theory of power and organization, derived from a critical consideration of a literature extending across sociology, political science, philosophy and organization theory. The book raises and answers some of the issues which are important in the construction of a theoretical apparatus for the analysis of power and at the same time it proposes an alternative concept of organization, centred around the themes of power and control.
