Management research has now been developed worldwide in a variety of
teaching and research institutions. But what is its purpose? Is management
science a social science or an engineering science? Could it be new basic
field? How can management models be considered as models of collective
action, beyond the frontiers of the world of business? What is a
managerial situation? What is involved in inventing, testing, implementing
a management theory? This book is the translation of a French book about
the foundations of management research and science.
When first published in 2001, it was well received and generated
unexpected interest from the French Management community. And likewise
when it was reprinted in 2008. Few books in the recent history of French
management thinking have had a similar impact. The event was hardly
predictable, as the book aimed at critically rethinking the nature and
epistemology of the field, claiming that management should be seen neither
as applied economics, nor as applied social science but as a basic science
in itself.
The contributions in this book refer to the foundations of management and
include the most recent epistemological and institutional debates: the
theory of collective action, the institutions of management, the relation
between decision and action, management as modern rhetoric, the place of
intervention in the practical and theoretical invention of management;
they compose a renewed conceptual framework for management research.
This book has been written for management researchers and PhD students.
But more than management books that promise success, this book will take
managers and consultants back to the essence of their role: designing and
implementing efficient systems of collective action.
