Книга "Управление в жидком мире" - это исследование роли управления в нашей современной общественной жизни, которая характеризуется увеличивающимся чувством неуверенности и безнадежности. Авторы - Зигмунт Бауман, один из величайших мыслителей нашего времени, архитектор и профессор городских исследований Ирена Бауман, а также два ученых в области управления и организации - Ежи Коцяткович и Моника Костера - задаются вопросами о том, какую роль может играть управление в будущем, когда текущий период "между эпохами" закончится и начнется новая, надеемся, более гуманная система. Книга рассматривает, как управление стало одной из ключевых идей и языков прошлого века, охватившей большинство областей человеческой деятельности, в том числе и те, которые ранее считались невозможными для управления, такие как искусство, академическая сфера и творчество. Некоторые области оно поддержало, а другие уничтожило, но практически нет областей в современном обществе, которые были бы не затронуты им.
Management in the Fluid Modern World is a contribution to the literature on the relationship between what used to be thought of as reason-bound management practice and the radical transformations that took place in our societies during the second half of the 20th century The book consists of 7 chapters and a brief list of authors' references. It is driven by the conviction that the foundations of management as it is practised today are built on historical and systemic reasons that go above much that would appear to be cultural. Chapter 1 delves into why earlier Marxist theorising has yet to significantly impact how management practices today in contemporary societies have become detached from productive labour and knowledge. Chapter 2 discusses the ways in which management has become incorporated in the life of others through Habermas' theory of communication. The emphasis here is on economic rationalisations worldwide. Chapter 3 problematizes broader issues into theorising flexibility and adaptability. Jerzy Biernat's notion of the social mechanism as reproduction of social relations is applied to management. Section 4 what role victims of ethical moves of for-profit organisations take in our politics. Authors use the notion reciprocal beneficence developed by Anthony Giddens. In the final section of the book das 6, Monika Kurczaba-Kostera focuses on ethics, proposes a set of ethical principles to ensure that management meets ethical consequences undertaken by academics and practitioners working in various fields of endeavour. Often in specific circontances, compromise acceptable both from the point of view of their applicability within the organisation while simultaneously ensuring the well-being of others in society and hence ensure the legitimacy of management more broadly of the willingness to act beyond self-interest. Appendices include references to Łukasiewicz, Bourdieu, Schumpeter, Mylonas, Halliday and Ostovich.

Описание книги от Monika Kostera
Management has been one of the driving forces of the last century, indeed an idea and a language that colonized most other institutions, areas of human activity and walks of life, even those that had until recently been regarded as completely unmanageable, such as art, academia and creativity. Some it supported and others it destroyed, but there are few areas in modern societies that have been untouched by it. What is the meaning of management now almost omnipresent and all-powerful in our current bleak times, in our current state of ‘interregnum’ that is characterized by an increasing sense of insecurity and hopelessness, a time when, paradoxically, the seemingly omnipotent force of management does not seem to work? Does it have a role to play today and in the future? What can it become and whom should it serve when the interregnum is over and a new, hopefully more humane, system begins to dawn? These are some of the questions explored in this timely new book by Zygmunt Bauman, one of the greatest thinkers of our times, architect and Urban Studies professor Irena Bauman, and two organization and management scholars, Jerzy Kociatkiewicz and Monika Kostera.
