The author analyses the economic and political changes which facilitated the rise of this new group and offers reflections on the controversies around the development of 'guru theory' (a reasonably stable and enduring set of assumptions and associated practices). \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe rise of management gurus is placed in the context of critiques that the field is empty, insubstantial and faddish. With reflections on the contours of 'the guru industry' and insights into the world of \"management speak\", the text highlights conceptual, methodological and empirical failings and suggests a radical reconceptualisation of the guru-as-performer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis concise book from a global expert on the topic is essential reading for researchers of business and management as well as an insightful addition to the wider social science library.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Collins is Professor in Management and Dean of the Suffolk Business School, University of Suffolk, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52573124788498,"sku":"9780367520472","price":51.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/wsKtV4GDez9780367520472.webp?v=1785679249","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/management-gurus-a-research-overview-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
