{"product_id":"critical-management-studies-a-reader-9780199286089","title":"Critical Management Studies: A Reader","description":"'Critical Management Studies' or 'CMS' has emerged over the last ten years as the term to describe a diverse group of work that has adopted a critical or questioning approach to the traditional concerns of management studies. In this time, CMS has come to exert an increasing influence in\u003cbr\u003eManagement and Management Studies, and while it has prompted fierce debate about its validity and use, there is no doubt that the rapidly growing interest in CMS has produces a vibrant and exciting body of work. Chris Grey and Hugh Willmott, leading authorities in this area have collected together\u003cbr\u003eeighteen readings, which reflect these developments, and show why CMS has become an important field of research. The book is divided into four sections, 'Anticipating CMS', looking at some of the roots of CMS, 'Studying Management Critically', 'Critical Studies of Management', and 'Assessing CMS, \u003cbr\u003eexamining some of the internal and external critical discussions of CMS. Each reading and it's significance is introduced by the editors, and in their introduction to the reader, they reflect more broadly on the history of CMS. In particular, they consider its institutionalization, both in terms of\u003cbr\u003eits becoming an identifiable body of work or approach, and its institutional context within business schools and indeed what it means to produce a Reader of critical work. As an assessment of CMS, the Reader will be of interest to academics, researchers and students of Management Studies. As an\u003cbr\u003eintroduction to CMS, the book will prove invaluable to students taking courses requiring familiarity with the CMS literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Grey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199286089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChris Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Reader in Organization Theory at the Judge Institute of Management Studies, University of Cambridge.
