Omschrijving
This book explores the reconfiguration of management as ‘digital management’ in the context of World War 2 and its aftermath, from the US industrial mobilization to the end of the cold war period.
“Francois-Xavier de Vaujany has effectively re-written the history of management in our digital age, and possibly also pre-saged its future – this book should be read by anybody with hopes or fears about where our technology might lead us!” Matt Statler, Richman Family Director of Business Ethics and Social Impact Programming, Clinical Professor of Business and Society, NYU Stern School of Business
"A great book that shows once more how the history of management is profoundly linked to geopolitical and institutional orders. The analysis of the contemporary digital revolution adds a piece to the story of how management creates strudtures of wanting and desires, hope and beliefs." Paolo Quattrone, Professor of Accounting, Governance and Society, Alliance Manchester Business School
"This book offers an interesting and complex tapestry of the role of management in the continual production and expression of the ‘American Event’ by weaving together a number of threads including: stories of influential characters; social, scientific, economic and political events; and the institutionalizing values of what the author calls the ‘managerial apocalypse’." Ann L Cunliffe, Professor of Organization Studies, Fundação Getúlio Vargas-EAESP, Brazil
François-Xavier de Vaujany is full professor of Management and Organization Studies at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and researcher at DRM since 2010. His research deals with the societal and political dimensions of (new) ways of working and their management. He is particularly interested in the time and space dimensions of (new) ways of organizing work in our digital societies. By means of historical approaches, ethnographies and qualitative experimentations, he has thus explored various organizational phenomena such as major industrial companies, universities, maker spaces, coworking spaces, digital nomadism, investment banks or old religious organizations.
