Shut Down the Business School
A clarion call to shut down the business school!
The House Martin
Ben is learning to keep secrets. No one must know about his mother and her addiction to sherry. No one must know about the bedwetting that so bewilders him. And no one must ever know about the blue folder that he¿d stumbled across in Stuart England¿s car at the end of the previous term. Stuart England is the charismatic young master¿not long down from Oxford¿who makes life possible for Ben in the emotionally sterile environment of his prep school in Gloucestershire. This is the story of Ben¿s long struggle to be free of the demons that have chased him since childhood. Will he ever find the courage, like the house martins that fly high above the school, to accept life on life¿s terms?
Ethics & Organizations
Ethics and Organization provides a rich and valuable overview of an increasingly important issue for management and organizations in contemporary society. Debates about equal opportunities, environmental responsibility, consumer redress and corporate governance have given ethics a prominent place in the study of organizations in their social and natural environments. Within the organization, new management styles that seek to energize employees by manipulating their beliefs have highlighted the moral-ethical principles at issue in contemporary management. At the same time debates around postmodernism and relativism have moved ethics to a new centrality in contemporary social theory. Ethics and Organization addresses the questions that these and other developments raise for the study of management and organizations, from a multidisciplinary perspective. The book will be of value to advanced level students and academics engaged in analyzing the moral, political and ethical dimensions of organization theory and organizational practice.

I Think I Thought
Wry wit and observation in 102 poems, I Think I Thought details both a dark side to growing up, girlfriends and gastro-pubs, and a gently light side to old age - despite its attendant malfunctions and memory loss. All of these we meet a-plenty on the poet’s long haul from nappies to near-dotage, pausing along the way to reflect on some of life’s unwelcome changes – from the loss of Sharps Toffee, the Empire, flea circuses and doctors who do home visits; to the advent of longer licensing hours, synchronized swimming, greengrocers’ “apostrophe’s” and a possible need to origami one’s Andrex. So far the author has survived the slings and arrows of Life’s outrageous fortune with affectionate memories of most of its ups and with much gentle laughter at many of its downs. And the effect of it all on him? . . . “No matter what state it is in after years of indulgence and sin, Though wrinkled and sagging through excess of lagging I’m happy at last in my skin.” Perhaps the perfect book for the awkward friend or relative who, until now, has been impossible to buy presents for.
Against Management
Against Management argues that management is increasingly being seen as a problem, and not a solution. Martin Parker argues that managing is not the only way to organize and that managerialism is a global form of ideology, which is being used to justify considerable cruelty and inequality. He also suggests that, in a variety of places, an odd collection of people seem to be coming to similar conclusions. It is possible to identify cracks in the religion of managerialism as some of its converts begin to lapse and others intensify their protest. In order to illustrate his argument, Parker draws from a wide variety of sources - anti-corporate activism; books and films which use management as th...
Life After COVID-19
What might the world look like in the aftermath of COVID-19? Almost every aspect of society will change after the pandemic, but if we learn lessons then life can be better. Featuring expert authors from across academia and civil society, this book offers ideas that might put us on alternative paths for positive social change. A rapid intervention into current commentary and debate, Life After COVID-19 looks at a wide range of topical issues including the state, co-operation, work, money, travel and care. It invites us to see the pandemic as a dress rehearsal for the larger problem of climate change, and it provides an opportunity to think about what we can improve and how rapidly we can make changes.
Organizational Culture and Identity
Organizational Culture and Identity discusses the literature concerned with culture in organizations and explains why the term has been invoked with such enthusiasm. Martin Parker presents further ways of thinking about organizations and culture which suggest that organizational cultures should be seen as `fragmented unities' in which members identify themselves as collective at some times and divided at others.
