The Foundations of Management Knowledge [Paperback]

This volume brings together a group of leading academics from Europe, North America and Australasia to address a question of considerable contemporary concern: the nature and management of knowledge in relation to rapidly changing arenas of theory and practice. The contributors reframe management as a dynamic, creative and versatile field of knowledge that is both multidisciplinary and multi-contextual. The book provides a structured and informed set of readings for management educators as well as students and academics in the fields of critical management, organisational behaviour, human resource management and management development.Paul JeffcuttQueen's University of Belfast, UK; Chris GreyUniversity of Leeds, UK; Robert LockeUniversity of Hawaii, USA; Alan ThomasManchester Business School, UK; Willem KootFree University of Amsterdam, Netherlands; Steve FoxUniversity of Lancaster, UK; Hugh WilmotUMIST, UK; Robin Wensley, University of Warwick, UK; David SimsBrunel University, UK; Robert ChiaUniversity of Essex, UK; Roy JacquesUniversity of Otago, New Zealand; Stanley DeetzRutgers University, USA; Silvia GheradiUniversity of Trento, Italy; Stewart CleggUniversity of Technology, Sydney, AustraliaPaul Jeffcuttis Professor of Management Knowledge in the School of Management and Economics of Queen's University, Belfast.
