But what do we mean by 'performance'? In today's world it can refer to experimental art; productivity in the workplace; and the functionality of technological systems. Do these disparate fields bear any relation to each other?\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003ePerform or Else\u003c\/em\u003e Jon McKenzie asserts that there is a relationship cultural, organisational, and technological performance. In this theoretical tour de force McKenzie demonstrates that all three paradigms operate together to create powerful and contradictory pressures to 'perform...or else'. This is an urgent and important intervention in contemporary critical thinking. It will profoundly shape our understanding of twenty-first century structures of power and knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon McKenzie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415247683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415247689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.69w x 0.82d","brand":"Jon McKenzie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086578233599,"sku":"9780415247689","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efaaa83c-bfc7-4808-a874-5f06ec1ee404.jpg?v=1769095489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perform-or-else-jon-mckenzie-9780415247689","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
