The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of Change: North American Business Schools After the Second World War de Mie Augier

The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of Change: North American Business Schools After the Second World War

Autor Mie Augier, James March
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2012
Some rather remarkable changes took place in North American business schools between 1945 and 1970, altering the character of these institutions, the possibilities for their future, and the terms of discourse about them. This period represents a minor revolution, during which business school are reported to have become more academic, more analytic, and more quantitative.

The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of Change considers these changes and explores their roots. It traces the origins of this quiet revolution and shows how it shaped discussions about management education, leading to a shift in that weakened the place of business cases and experiential knowledge and strengthened support for a concept of professionalism that applied to management.

The text considers how the rhetoric of change was organized around three core questions: Should business schools concern themselves primarily with experiential knowledge or with academic knowledge? What vision of managers and management should be reflected by business schools? How should managerial education connect its teaching to some version of reality?

Recenzii

"In The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of Change, Augier and March offer us a compelling discussion of the transformations [in education] that follow [the Second World War]. The reform story is a complicated one of course, but in their hands, it is easy to grasp. . . Augier and March wrote a terrific appraisal of the reformation and its legacy."—James P. Walsh, Administrative Science Quarterly

"This is a great story that has never been told with such clarity, empirical support, and conceptual breadth. The book draws on the particular strengths and perspectives of each of the authors. Augier is a stunningly accomplished intellectual historian of business school culture. Meanwhile, March is the preeminent organizational theorist, who shares a story only he is fit tell—as story about how risky and foolish change is for organizations, how it happens more through arrogance and ignorance than skill and foresight."—David F. Labaree, Stanford University and author of Someone Has to Fail

"This book has a distinct sensibility and depth that will make it important. The authors' nuance of ideas and range of perspective is excellent."—Anne S. Miner, University of Wisconsin
