Marketing Masculinities: Gender and Management Politics in Marketing Work: Contributions in Labor Studies

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 apr 2001 – vârsta până la 17 ani
This book explores the ways in which gender informs the definition and organization of management work, with specific attention to marketing. Drawing on original case studies, Chalmers examines how marketing personnel in particular firms appeal to valued and emotionally charged masculine meanings and identifications in their efforts to define the boundaries of their work activity and to establish marketing's managerial credentials against the claims of competing management occupations. By focusing on this interpenetration of masculinity projects and managerial politics, the study breaks new ground, illustrating that gender is a particularly flexible and potent resource for use in the competitive struggles shaping what management is, who manages, and how.Through the use of detailed case studies, the author takes a thorough look at the way marketing departments have emerged within companies and how marketing personnel have tried to carve out a niche for themselves by using gendered discursive techniques. The use of such strategies is aimed at securing a more crucial management role within a company, structuring boundaries and internal divisions of marketing work, shaping how various tasks are consolidated into marketing jobs, and creating distinct realms of masculine and feminine activity. As more and more women enter the field of marketing, they must navigate their way through this gendered terrain where marketers are expected to be assertive and forceful and women are expected to be feminene and supportive. Chalmers carefully traces these management politics and gendering processes in an effort to explain how gender informs the definition and organization of managing work.
