Preface to the 2009 edition

It hardly seems five years since the last edition of our book but thank you to everyone whose recommendations and suggestions made a further edition possible. As we write this1 the world is trying to find a solution to the problems caused by the bursting of the financial bubbles on the stock markets of the US and the UK. The signs were there some time ago1 and we pointed to some of them in the last edition of the book. We don't believe that the answer lies in propping up a flawed system1 but ultimately in taking the sort of critical thinking that we advocate in this book to a higher level and changing the system. There is a great deal of talk about how things can never be the same again - we hope so1 but it's too early to say how deep the changes will be and whether they will work. Management is more of a challenge than ever, and critical thinking could not be more urgently needed.

What changes have we made to this edition? Well we wanted to incorporate a variety of suggestions from users of the book1 which we have done, but we had to make room to do this even though the book has increased in size. Fortunately we were already aware that the material in Chapter 17 - Managing in a Virtual World -was dating rapidly, and we decided to remove it. But we haven't lost it completely -because we have a brand new website with additional case materials and resources1 we have archived the lost chapter there for those of you who1 like us1 still find some of the materials useful. So the book has two sections now instead of three.

The most obvious change is that we now have 34 photographs, covering every chapter! Most of these come from two academics who also take photography seri­ously1 Chris Poulson from California1 who works in Hong Kong1 and Garance Marechal from the south-west of France1 who works in Liverpool. Our thanks to them for letting us use their work1 and for reformatting and editing their exciting and often humorous pictures especially for the book - welcome aboard.

We also welcome Garance to our team of associate authors. One suggestion our readers made was that the coverage of knowledge and its management was in need of expansion1 and Garance was invited to act as a specialist co-author to expand and revise Chapter 1. The Introduction also was revised, mainly to incorporate a broader historical coverage of management as suggested by readers1 which now extends to the Stone Age, and Garance also contributed to that.

The study of gender has accelerated with a number of important scholarly articles and major government reports being published. The new Chapter 2 incorporates discussion of all the latest work1 and relates gender to other forms of diversity. Chapter 3 is expanded to bring the coverage of the most recent developments and debates in cross-cultural management in particular into focus1 and Chapter S on sustainability has some powerful new cases and examples drawn from the latest initi­atives. Chapter 6 extends the coverage of power to consideration of the global system. Ethics is probably the fastest growing area covered in the book and the revised

Chapter 8 reflects this. Chapter 9 now includes treatment of goal setting and idiosyn­cratic deals, and Chapter 10 has been considerably revised to include more thorough treatment of classic studies, new approaches such as aesthetic leadership, and devel­opments in cross-cultural leadership. All the chapters have been revised, some very extensively, to take on board new thinking. This book has always been research led, and we will continue to work as hard as possible to keep it so. We thank all of our contributors for sharing our vision and putting so much effort into its realization.

One of the contributors to the last edition, David S. Richards, sadly passed away in May 2005 after a two-year struggle with cancer that appeared to have been successful. Dave is fondly remembered by those of us who worked with him as a truly interna­tional teacher and a great contributor to the spirit of this book, which extends beyond its pages.

We have all enjoyed bringing our cases up to date, but perhaps the most exciting evolution has been of the Morgan Car Company, still a private company, but having transformed itself from being a company without a computer in 1990 into the manu­facturer of the eco-friendly Life Car, economical and carbon neutral yet capable of supercar performance of over 150 mph!

Our thanks to our students needs to be extended to students at Leicester and York, Utrecht and Albuquerque, New Mexico who have contributed to discussing materials incorporated in this edition. Tue guidance on how to use the book in the 2004 Preface still applies, so we have retained that preface following.

We hope that you will continue to enjoy the book and its new-look associated website where all sorts of additional materials can be found. We are always keen to hear suggestions for improvement to keep it the best possible resource and support for critically engaged teaching of management.

Preface to the 2004 edition

In 1992, Liz Fulop, Faye Frith and Harold Hayward from Australia collaboratively edited a book called Management for Australian Business: A Critical Text. This was the first management textbook in the world to use 'critical' in its title. It was a bestseller in Australia despite the sceptical views of many academics who thought that critical and management did not go together! Back then it was the stock market collapse of the late 1980s, and the associated management issues this upheaval caused, that made it imperative to look more critically at management than was occurring in many main­stream textbooks and management programmes. In the original preface to the 1992 book, the editors said:

It goes without saying that there is nothing simple about management. There never was; nor should there be. Too much is at stake. 1his book is written with the firm conviction that to become a successful and clever manager involves mastering much more than a few simple 'recipes' or 'easy steps' for performing management func­tions ... the function of a management textbook should be to equip managers with enduring skills and knowledge that will help them cope with the complexity and ambiguity that await them in their daily endeavours. The book places a premium on developing critical thinking and analytical capacities that can be successfully applied to any management situation ... an understanding of management is not enhanced by uncritical 'one best way' approaches. (Fulop et al. 1992: vi)

A second text was written in 1999 by Liz Fulop and Stephen Linstead in an attempt to update the content of the first book for students of the next century. The book, called Management: A Critical Text, was adopted not only in Australia but elsewhere, including the UK and Canada, and it became the benchmark for a truly critical management textbook that did not ape other more traditional texts} or confine itself to organizational theory or organizational behaviour alone.

As we looked at the ideas that had animated the first book, what became strikingly obvious was1 first, that taking such a critical approach to management was more important than ever and, second} that the market was no better served in this regard than it had been when the first book was written. But things had changed, and changed considerably. A focus on Australian business seemed parochial to the point of absurdity in the context of internationalization and globalization. What managers of the future would need was an early exposure to ideas and cases from a number of cultures and contexts - the USA, Europe and Asia-Pacific in particular. Similarly, learning had moved so much to centre stage in the consideration of how organiza­tions and managers could remain effective that it demanded more extensive and upfront consideration. Diversity as a topic had become more significant than it had ever been, and although all the material in the book needed to be revisited in this light} the issue of gender could no longer be marginalized but demanded focused

treatment. In addition, the growth of a concern with ethicsJ which was once an optional feature of most business programmes, was increasingly being recognized as a foundational element of a critical approach to management. Sadly, the corporate collapses of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the unethical and illegal management practices associated with many of these, suggest that more than ever management must be taught from a critical perspective and across all business programmes.

As we reviewed what needed to be done for the second revision1 we came to realize that the first book1 which we had felt was quite radical in its time1 was looking more and more conservative - and we were more critical than ever! What was needed was a rethinking of many of our assumptions and a reframing of some of the core issues -such as power, leadership1 motivation - that remain at the heart of studies of manage­ment. Some topics, such as interorganizational relations and teamworking, were so clearly a part of ways of working of the future, and could no longer be dismissed as transitory fashions, that they required proper treatment in their own right, and not as part of a broader and more synoptic consideration.

Our new text grew out of the need to expand the topics that were covered in the 1999 text and to address an even greater range of issues that are now pressing on managers and their organizations. To this end, Simon Lilley was brought into the editorial team and our range of associates expanded. We have included topics on structure, control, conflict, change1 sustainability and the virtual world. The title reflects what was already a goal of the 1992 book, which was to bring organization and management studies together. Managing is an organizationally situated and context­specific activity, and driven by the need to organize work around complex relation­ships that are constrained by structural arrangements, be they teams1 hierarchYJ job titles, an organization chart or the layout of an office. Management and organization must be thought through together.

This book is an advanced introduction to the topics in it. This means that you don't have to have familiarity with the topics themselves in order to use it effectively, as the introductory basics that we consider relevant are included, but we do move on further and faster than an introductory text would. If you've studied introductory manage­ment before, you might find you have to unlearn some of the approaches you are familiar with1 which is why we have provided a good deal of our own introductions to topics. We don't cover everything, but we do cover all we think you'll need. The book can be used effectively on final-year undergraduate courses and second-year specialist options, obviously with students of business and management1 sociology, politics1

history1 geography and even English in our experience. However, the book will be most valuable to Master's students - core courses on Master's in management or MBA, or courses on critical management as part of programmes across the social sciences. PhD students in management and organization will find it invaluable in getting quickly up to date in current critical research across a range of areas.

Each of us, in fact, has taught the material differently as we have developed it. Liz has used the text in undergraduate teaching and selective chapters in postgraduate Master's subjects. Simon has used one chapter to teach a whole subject while Steve has used the book as the basis for a core course1 both at Master's and at MBA levels. What we have also found is that our colleagues, in addition to our using the book for our own specialist courses, have used the chapters individually to support and provide a critical dimension to their own courses such as strategy. In these cases the book has been adopted as a programme text1 which students carry with them throughout their whole Master's or final-year studies to provide a different perspec-

tive to conventional approaches. The text lends itself to creative use and interpreta­tion and we have tried not to constrain its users.

We provide the textbook not primarily as a course book to be worked through chapter by chapter, week by week, although this can be done, but as the first and most comprehensive resource for people teaching management critically. We also have some additional support materials available on the book's website for adopters, and we welcome your suggestions for ways in which we can enhance this.

How this book is organized

We have followed the collaborative approach developed in the original book, expanding the range of specialist international contributors and this has helped produce a book that is far more original in its approach than any other in the marketplace, and far more up to date, with cutting-edge research in each area. We hope that readers will also recognize the benefits of collaboration in the consist­ency of approach throughout the book achieved through our co-authoring of many of the chapters.

We have deliberately chosen not to develop this book according to a model which we then work laboriously through section by section. Management and organiza­tional behaviour (OB) texts often break the subject down into three areas - the indi­vidual1 the group and the organization. Sometimes a text will add a fourth area, the environment. The drawback with this approach is that it separates out processes that in reality are not so easily separated - gender1 for example, is a property of individ­uals, is defined by groups, is an important way in which organizations work and are divided, implicitly and explicitly; and is the subject of environmental regulation, legislation, demographics, ethics and ideological debate which varies dramatically across cultures. We have tried to capture this multilayered nature of each topic within its chapters.

We also recognize that the conventional division of organization and management into these areas is useful, but we see it as a little more complex than commonly presented. So we present our underlying conception of management as the manage­ment of relationships, and in the Introduction we outline a model of how these rela­tionships can be thought 0£ This model can function as a broad map of the terrain1 and shows how the topics in this book relate to some topics, such as quantitative analysis and techniques, which may be part of management as a whole but which are not covered in this book.

The book features substantial cases within each chapter, which is connected with the fact that we chose to exemplify our approach to case analysis in the text rather than in the instructor's guide accompanying it. However, we have chosen cases on the basis of how well they illustrate our arguments and encourage reflection on the part of students. We have not chosen them on some contrived notion of similar style or uniform length. To do otherwise would make a mockery of the real-life situ­ations that cases are meant to represent. We begin the chapters with questions about the topic - but not questions from the point of view of the academic lecturer. We have used questions which our students have told us were in their minds when they asked themselves, what do I really want to know about this topic? What puzzles me about it? Many of the chapters give some outline answers to these questions at the end of each chapter. We also ask questions about each case and give answers at the end, but don't expect there to be the same number of questions in each chapter or the length of the answers to be the same. The questions are chosen more on the basis of how much they make you think and the amount of class discussion they usually provoke.

Each chapter is a substantive piece of work in its own right and contains some original material related to the topic. Unlike most textbooks, it is not simply a representation of work done by others but an introduction to the state of work on the topic at the present time. The research we draw on is as up to date as we could make it - in some cases we draw on unpublished work if we consider it sufficiently important.

The book is structured simply. The first part we call 'Core Concepts~ and this contains the basic concepts which we consider underpin all the other chapters in the book. We take a different view to most other books, in that we think, in a book which is supposed to help its readers to learn, learning should be the first concept addressed i gender and culture, as two fundamental dimensions that affect the way theory itself is constructed should be addressed nextj that structure is best addressed alongside culture, with which it is often confusedj and nature, in the form of managing sustain­ablri is equally fundamental to the way we think about organizing, not an afterthought to strategy which is how it is often regarded. Power is fundamental to shaping organi­zations and cannot meaningfully be dealt with without considering control. Finally, ethics now more urgently than ever needs to be a foundation for what we do rather than a way in which we reflect on it. All the topics in the first part can be read into the topics in the second part.

In the second part, we look at 'Management Processes~ moving from those more personal ones like motivation and leading, to the management of teams, and the issues that arise such as conflict, change and decision making. The last two chapters in this section take a more macro-view, looking at strategy and beyond, the ways in which organizations themselves work together collectively in networks. Our conclu­sion offers some reflections and speculation on what it will be like to manage in a virtual world.

As you read through the new bookJ you will see that we have retained much of the original content but have updated where necessary as well as venturing into new, exciting areas. We have deliberately not written to the formulae and format of standard texts - we see little virtue in artificially contrived chapter lengths and format. We do not assume that students think in neat compartmentalized ways or that they are incapable of dealing with differences in style and format. To do so would be to contradict and destroy the meaning of critique as we understand and profess it.

We remain committed to developing an understanding of critical management that draws not only on more traditional ideas of critique but one that emphasizes the micro-practices of managers. It is vital that managers are able to make sense of their multifaceted roles and relationships) the forces and processes that either enable or impede them in doing their jobs, and the rich pastiche of ideas and theories that can enrich their thinking and practice. All managers have complex workplace relation­ships to deal with and we want to help them do this. Our text offers a scholarly and highly challenging way to study management but it has practice firmly in mind. As we have repeatedly said in past texts, this book is not for those managers or students seeking simple 'truths' and 'rules' by which to manage. Rather, it is for those who want to be challenged and transformed by what they read and learn. We would love to hear what you think of the book, how you've used it, what you love or hate about it, how we could or should improve it, and how we ourselves could learn more about what we are achieving as authors and how we could better serve you, our readers.

Thanks are due to all our co-authors, for the hard work they put in, for the critical scrutiny they endured and, in some cases, for putting up with phone calls that arrived in the middle of the night - one of the perils of collaborating to meet deadlines across time zones! Thanks are also due to our current and past students in MBA, Master's of management and international management and undergraduate business degrees at

Durham) Essex) Keele1 Griffith1 Sunderland and Wollongong for their responses to the material in this book. We owe thanks to Sarah Brown, formerly commissioning editor for Palgrave Macmillan (UK)1 who initially urged us to pursue a third revision of the textbook) and then courageously accepted our proposal to produce a quite different one in content. We also want to thank Ruth Lake who took over from Sarah and kept the project on track. Ursula Gavin took over the responsibility for the project around the time the deadlines had to be met and) despite coming into the project so late1 got to grips with it very quickly and professionally. She was able to give us constructive and valuable advice on revising the manuscript yet allowed us to maintain the integrity of the text as a unique product in the marketplace.

Finally, at the end of a project which has spanned three years and several thou­sand miles, a period in which we have all separately had to cope with both tragic and joyful events, we are delighted to find we are still talking to each other! In the end though, what counts most to us is our passionate commitment to changing how managers learn about management) our faith that others share this commitment and the gratitude of past students who were challenged by our texts. These are the things that made the writing of this book so important to us, and we hope you will find it equally rewarding.
