Thomas Diefenbach

Management and the Dominance of Managers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates the portrait of management as value-free 'technicality' and challenges the image of managers as the selfless pursuer of an organization's survival and development. It explains that individual interests and careers of managers are only part of a wider picture with managers as the new ruling class using and misusing organizations for their own personal and group interests.
