Manuel
Contemporary management has yet to be invented. To achieve this, today's manager can draw on the history of management theories. They will find a wide variety of practical solutions and interpretative approaches. But because there is no such thing as a perfect theory, the manager has only partial and incomplete solutions.
Above all, his practical work must necessarily oscillate between two complementary poles. On the one hand, he must demonstrate efficiency, and to achieve this, he has a large number of administrative techniques and management rules at his disposal, which lead him to think of the organization in terms of governance, strategies, structures and operations. On the other hand, they can't just be technicians aiming for formal efficiency; they must also be profoundly human, embedding their actions in the social fabric of an organization, and thus anticipating its political, symbolic, psychological and cognitive dimensions.
This management textbook is aimed at both management students and managers seeking a better understanding of management theory and practice. It features a wealth of historical and practical examples, and refers to theorists and practitioners alike.
Finally, this handbook looks at management from three complementary angles: formal management, based on formal reason and the ideal of efficiency; charismatic management, based on charisma and the ideal of differentiation; and traditional management, based on tradition and the ideal of durability. The followers of management in the technical sense limit themselves to the former; the followers of leadership swear by the latter and, despite the fascination that novelty exerts in the world of management, tradition persists in many organizations. Yet, in a way, the manager is always confronted with these three logics.
Inventing contemporary management to meet today's challenges involves combining these three logics in an original way.
