This work recognizes the human element in organization. In describing the relations and actions which constitute every organization, the authors assess the management issues and problems which invariably result. They further examine how the transition from small to large can be achieved, as well as reviewing recent attempts to recreate entrepreneurial forms of organization in the context of large complex ones. Finally it illustrates the contrasting fortunes of various organizations in their attempt to adapt to the new economic and social conditions of the 1990s.

Reluctant managers: Their work and lifestyles

This study aims to establish the attitudes, values and aspirations of British managers. The interviews were conducted in depth with men and women in both private and public sector organizations and explored their feelings about work and home to discover where their strongest allegiances lay. The report reveals that under increasing pressures at work and changing expectations at home, managers are fundamentally reluctant to fulfill the committed entrepreneurial roles that many have been allocating to them.

Unwin Hyman

Reluctant Managers (Routledge Revivals): Their Work and Lifestyles

‘The manager’ is a crucial figure in debates about the future of the British economy in general and the working practices of private and public organizations in particular. He or she is to be encouraged, cajoled, exhorted or at worst obliged to pursue organizational goals of greater economy, efficiency and effectiveness. Richard Scase and Robert Goffee examine the lives of managers in this study, first published in 1989. The information in the book comes from in-depth interviews with men and women in both private and public sector organizations. The authors also explore managers’ feelings towards their work and home lives, and where their strongest alliances lie. The book reveals that, under increasing pressures at work and changing expectations at home, managers are fundamentally reluctant to fulfil the committed entrepreneurial roles that many optimistically have been allocating to them. This book is ideal for students of business and management.

The Real World of the Small Business Owner (Routledge Revivals)

Small businessmen and entrepreneurs came firmly back in fashion when this book was first published in 1980. As the Western economies moved into recession, many governments, particularly Mrs Thatcher’s administration, looked to the entrepreneurial spirit of the small businessman to rejuvenate and revitalise Western society.  Stripping away the political rhetoric, this book provides a serious social portrait of the small businessman in the economy at the time in which this book was written. Based upon extensive original research, the detailed analyses focus on the key issues in the small businessmen’s life. At a time when there was much argument about the motivation and will to work of Western society, this study of the traditional custodians of capitalism is particularly relevant. Above all it shows how the historical values of the small businessman have survived in the changed circumstances of the advanced economies.

This book, first published in 1982, is a study of the processes that shape the reproduction of the entrepreneurial middle class. It identifies the major dynamics surrounding stages of business growth. More particularly, it focuses upon obstacles and cleavages inherent within the process of small-scale capital accumulation. This book is ideal for students of business and economics.
