Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Like all good books this one raises as many questions as it answers. (Robert R. Locke, Business History)

This book is original and refreshing. (Robert R. Locke, Business History)

the book tells an absorbing story. (Judith Maas, Bookshelf, Sloan Managment Review, Spring 2000.)

Yehouda Shenhav shows that the American system of management required elaborate social construction. Managers had to justify thier existence vis avis owners and workers, and it took a great deal of effort to 'normalize' their social power. This book makes an imortant critical contribution to our understanding of how the large corporation emerged in the U.S and deserves to be read by anyone interested in the origins of Americans 'mangerialism'. (Neil Fligstein 18/03/1999)

Reseña del editor:

Management is a powerful mode of thought and code of conduct in the modern world, closely associated with the American way and a natural extension of economic progress. This is a book about the history of management and the origin of managerial rationality in the United States.
