Transforming Managers cover

In the 1990s, considerable changes in the political and social world have impacted on the character of both public and private organizations. At a time of increased uncertainty and insecurity in these organizations, new ways of managing and being managed have emerged. Recognising that organizational life is part reflective and determined by dominant social discourses, factors of gender will inevitably be central to the dynamics of organizational change. This book addresses theoretical ideas and mythologies in the examination of gendered organizations. The need to examine men in relation to family, law and society in general is growing, and this book extends this interrogation to work and organizational life. It will be of interest to students in management studies, public sector management and those involved in public policy making as well as students and academics within gender studies and sociology.

'This is an important contribution to the emerging interest in ... the promotion of NPM and advocacy of gender equity. The volume offers 'value for money' ... concerned intellectuals will undoubtedly find this crtical-analytic and cross-gender contribution a very refreshing one to read.'
