Even those that had until recently been regarded as completely unmanageable, such as art, academia, and creativity. Some it supported and others it destroyed, but there are few areas in modern societies that have been untouched by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the meaning of management now almost omnipresent and all-powerful in our current bleak times, in our current state of 'interregnum', characterised by an increasing sense of insecurity and hopelessness? This is a time when, paradoxically, the seemingly omnipotent force of management does not seem to work. Does it have a role to play today and in the future? What can it become and whom should it serve when the interregnum is over, and a new, hopefully more humane, system begins to dawn?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese are some of the questions explored in this timely new book, \u003cem\u003eManagement in a Liquid Modern World\u003c\/em\u003e, by Zygmunt Bauman, one of the greatest thinkers of our times, architect and Urban Studies professor Irena Bauman, and two organisation and management scholars, Jerzy Kociatkiewicz and Monika Kostera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47463529021676,"sku":"9781509502226","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509502226-management-in-a-liquid-modern-world.jpg?v=1775034233"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jerzy-kociatkiewicz.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
