Management, Information and Power

by Lucas D. Introna

This book sets out to instil a different approach to thinking about the theory and practice of management and information management in organizations. Building on the work of earlier philosophers and social theorists, it puts forward a sophisticated theory for the understanding of how management, information and power operate and interact in the real world.

Very interesting philosophical analysis of management. I think Introna is right in his analysis, but does not make explicit the obvious conclusion: management is next to useless if the distance between the managemers en operational workers is too large.
