The Management of Everyday Life cover

For the past thirty years the distinction between work and non-work life has been blurring and has now all but dissolved. This much needed book offers multiperspectival insights into the relationship between management and everyday life and in doing so makes a significant contribution to the field. Heather Hopfl, Professor of Management, Essex Business School, University of Essex, UK Management is no longer confined to work and organizations, but is now a pervasive way of talking and thinking about all aspects of our lives. In this extraordinary book, Hancock and Tyler have assembled a collection that illuminates management theory by demonstrating how this colonisation of the everyday influences our lives. Martin Parker, Professor of Organisation and Culture, University of Leicester School of Management, UK

Here, experts reflect critically on the implications this has for our everyday experiences of self and society. The book helps students to reflect critically on the relationship between management and changes in the organization of work.The practices and values of management are increasingly shaping the management of life outside of work.
