Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 92 percent (First), University of Lincoln, language: English, abstract: "Peters is ... the father of the post-modern corporation." Why do people follow Gurus?One explanation can be the search for meaning in life. They offer fulfilment and promise a peaceful and happy life . Herein the emphasis lies on management Gurus. Can we transfer the above to a management context? In management we follow rules, rituals and symbols. Every morning we are called to the holy mass, worshipping the corporate identity manual and confessing our companies inability to keep the promise of short delivery times to our customer . Our consultant will teach us by showing us how we can improve quality, reduce wastage and improve happiness in our jobs. Tom Peters with his work on "excellent companies" lay the foundation of the work presented. Utilizing postmodernist techniques, the author challenges the teachings of the so called management gurus. Decentering, deconstructing and reflecting back on itself the author critically re-evaluates his personal guru. As a result a new perception of the circle commonly known as management gurus materializes and the insights gained are to be used as a tool in modern management. Are modern managers mislead in their thinking by following the wrong ideas?

Management Fads And Buzzwords written by David Collins and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-10-11 with Business & Economics categories.
Around 5,000 business and management titles are published every year, and increasingly, their preferred mode of presentation is centred on the creation and marketing of buzzwords and fads. This book argues that these management fads and buzzwords deflect critical inquiry and limit useful action because they present a 'ready made' view of the world, which rejects the benefits of theoretical analysis and reflection. Topics covered include: * the 'guru industry' * 'excellence' * business process re-engineering * empowerment * culture * knowledge work * globalization. 'Unpacking' the 'guru industry' and analyzing the fads and buzzwords, this book provides a 'critical-practical' analysis, designed to allow readers to locate, understand and critique management fashion.

Digital Wellness Health And Fitness Influencers written by Stefan Lawrence and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-10-07 with Social Science categories.
This book examines the phenomenon of ‘digital guru media’ (DGM), the self-styled online influencers, life coaches, experts and entrepreneurs who post on the themes of wellness, health and fitness. It opens up new perspectives on digital leisure and internet celebrity culture, and asks important questions about the social, cultural and psychological implications of our contemporary relationship with digital media. Drawing on cutting-edge social theory, the book explores a wide range of contexts in which DGM intersects with digital leisure, from the health-related learning of young people to the ‘clean eating’ movement, to the online lives of fitness professionals. It asks if digital and social media are problematic per se and explores the problems a turn to the Internet could be revealing about the lack of real-world or analogue support, as well as potential solutions, for our wellness, health and fitness needs and wants. Bringing together innovative, multi-disciplinary perspectives, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in leisure studies, media studies, cultural studies, sociology, or health and society.

Over time management ideas and panaceas have been presented alternately as quick fix cures for all corporate ills and the emperor’s new clothes, beset by flaws and problems. This Handbook provides a different approach, suggesting that management ideas and panaceas should not be either adopted or rejected outright, but gives guidance in the art of assessing and applying management ideas and panaceas to various situations and contexts. The contributors discuss the ways in which researchers, organizational actors and higher educational institutions (HEIs) can more wisely test the relevance of management ideas and panaceas, and adapt these to fit organizations in various contexts. They conclude that, in order to accomplish wiser relevance-testing and adaptation, there is a need for diversity, critical examination and transparency. All students, scholars and researchers in management and organization with an interest in the adaptation and translation of management ideas and panaceas, will find this book to be of interest. Reflective practitioners will find the focus on context illuminating and helpful.

Partners on the Payroll wonderfully illustrates the value of all employees acting as committed and engaged owners. —Dan Mortensen, President and CEO, Virginia Council on Economic Education, Former executive, Capital One Most entrepreneurs and executives would like their employees to feel engaged in the business, to go the extra mile, to think and act like owners. But they aren’t sure how to create such an environment. That’s where Partners on the Payroll comes in. In this short but powerful book, veteran business coach Bill Fotsch shows how any business can transform its employees into full-scale partners—people who understand the business and work together to improve its performance. Fotsch, who has worked with more than four hundred companies over the years, begins with a simple argument: our free-enterprise society needs partnership to overcome the divisions that threaten it. He then takes the reader step-by-step through the process of creating a partnership company, illustrating his points with fascinating stories of businesses, both large and small, that have transformed themselves. Readable and hard-hitting, this is the book for any owner or manager who wants to build not just a better business but a better world.
