This book brings together public services policy and public services management in a new way, challenging many old ideas in this field and presenting the debate of what 'critical' constitutes when applied to public services policy and management.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Graeme Currie is Professor of Public Services Management at Nottingham University Business School. He is also Director of one of the NIHR funded Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research & Care (CLAHRC). His main areas of research critically focus upon policy-promoted panaceas for organisational ills of leadership, knowledge management and reconfiguration of professional roles and relationships.

Jackie Ford is Professor of Leadership and Organization Studies at Bradford University School of Management. Current research explores leadership as a discursive and performative phenomenon, examining contemporary discourses of leadership and their complex inter-relations with gender and identity for managers. She is committed to identifying the human effects of managerial and organizational changes approached from feminist, poststructural and psychoanalytic theoretical perspectives. She has co-authored Leadership as Identity: Constructions and Deconstructions and has published in a range of journals including Journal of Management Studies, Leadership, Management Learning, Organization, Sociology.

Nancy Harding works at Bradford School of Management teaching organisation studies and directing the School's DBA programme. She has published books on The Social Construction of Dementia (1997); The Social Construction of Management (2003, Routledge) and, with Jackie Ford and Mark Learmonth, Leadership as Identity (2008). She is currently working on a book to be called On Being at Work, which will be published by Routledge in 2010. Her papers have appeared in journals including Organization Studies, Organization, Journal of Management Studies, Sociology, etc. She is editor of Journal of Health Organization and Management.

Mark Learmonth teaches qualitative research methods and public sector management at Nottingham University Business School. He worked in the UK NHS for almost 17 years and still writes mainly about this sector - though with increasingly regular forays elsewhere.
