| Summary, etc. |
This article critiques an increasingly abstract management that is being advocated in organizations. it locates the foundations of an abstract management in what Foucault and others have identified as the epistemic foundations of modernity. Using the example of a strategic performance management system it shows how these systems have such epistemic assumptions as their foundations. The article concludes by considering the role of practical reason in guiding management practice. - Reproduced. |
