Raising Critical Consciousness in Management Studies Influential Thinkers and the Critical Discourse Neo-liberalism, Globalisation and the Global Economy Organisational Structures and the Idea of Work Politics, Power and Control within Organisations Gender, Race and Class Diversities in the Workplace Consumer Culture, Commodities and Consumption Sustainability and Ecological Responsibility under Capitalism Studying Leaders and Leadership Critically Reflections on Self, Other and Organisations.
In these times of global economic crisis, social unrest towards the powers that be, and a yearning for alternative systems and organization, it is now more relevant than ever for you to take a critical stance to your management studies in order to analyse, understand and question the world around you and the capitalist stronghold in which you live and work. This new thought-provoking text uses critical theory and revolutionary ideas to help you challenge the status quo and prevailing ideologies in management. It covers key issues, thinkers and topics in an accessible style to provide a broad and clear understanding of vital theory which is applied to the real world through international case studies and reflective questions and think points for you to carry into practice.
