PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL AND THE EMERGENCE OF MANAGEMENT*
探讨管理学的定义模糊问题,主张从关系、构成和政治维度理解管理,并借助福柯的权力/知识概念分析英国大学绩效评估系统,揭示管理实践如何被塑造。
ABSTRACT This article addresses the debate concerning the study of management. Arguing that definitions of management have suffered from conceptual obscurity, it advocates that an understanding of management must address relational, constitutive and political dimensions of its operation. the work of Michel Foucault, particularly the concept of power/knowledge and his ascending analysis of power, offers such an approach. the relevance of Foucault for recasting the study of management is illustrated through an analysis of performance appraisal systems introduced into UK universities.
