Educating Managers for Post-bureaucracy
探讨了后官僚制时代灵活网络组织中管理者的角色，并分析其对管理教育的启示，挑战了主流与批判社会学中管理者作为道德中立技术问题解决者的传统观念。
The dominant conception of the manager is of a morally neutral technician engaged in a world of purely rational problem solving. This is the conception advanced by business schools, by management consultants and, in large measure, by managers themselves. It is also that of the critical sociology of management, in which managers are cast as morally disabled technical problem solvers not because they choose to be so but because, in the bureaucratic business corporation, they have no choice. In both its mainstream and its critical forms, this conception of management is closely tied to the rationalizing characteristics of bureaucratic organization, but what of management in post-bureaucracy? This article explores the role of the business manager in the flexible network organizations that are characteristic of early 21st-century business, and their implications for management education.
