Management: perspectives and dimensions

To deal with the richness and complexity of organizations, management brings into play four major perspectives of understanding and action: technical, political, symbolic and psychological. Each of these perspectives enables us to approach organizations in a particular way, and each of them is reflected in a diversity of practical skills, levers for action and areas of intervention.

In this little book, each of the management perspectives is described using summary sheets designed to encourage the learning of management skills, levers and work sites. In concrete terms, those who take part in the exercises contained in this little guide will realize that management always puts all perspectives into action.
