Managers in Action explores and develops the image of the manager as one who is aware of, and attends to, the way in which language is used in everyday managerial activity. This process involves reading the context from different perspectives, constructing new meanings, framing the complexities and dilemmas faced into new 'landscapes' of possible future actions, and creating a persuasive argument for those landscapes amongst those who must work in them. With contributions from eminent academics in the field, Managers in Action will be engaging reading to managers, academics and management teachers interested in critical management theory and generally open to new and different approaches to management.
