In this fascinating book Roy Jacques presents a discursive history of industrial work relationships in the United States which powerfully demonstrates that they are not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA central concern is to show that current  common-sense′ in management forms an historically and culturally specific way of thinking about work and society which is often inappropriate for  managing for the twenty-first century′. The author is equally interested in revealing the cultural basis for American management ideas, currently exported round the world as an objective science, disconnected from its cultural and historical roots.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803979169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803979161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.36w x 0.55d","brand":"Jacques","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926205235455,"sku":"9780803979161","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d527f622-ce23-41b1-847f-603099607f20.jpg?v=1681081781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/manufacturing-the-employee-jacques-9780803979161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
