Postcritical Management Studies
Author: Ghislain DeslandesPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031294041
Category : Management science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
This book is the first of its kind to offer a new definition of contemporary management. It uses Henrys philosophy and takes the real, sensitive and pathetic subjectivity of individuals as the starting point of the analysis as opposed to the usual large categories of representations; resources; images; and discourses. This book thus proposes to rethink management by insisting on the dialectic of strength and vulnerability; its power of constraint, imitation and imagination; and finally its framework of action situated in a fourfold concern for the self, for people, for institutions and for the environment. These different notions are useful in order to experience a deeper understanding of management that is free from the obsolescence of the distant recommendations of ancient protomanagement and the outdated and dubious prescriptions of the so-called scientific management.

Socialism in the World
Author: Le capitalisme a-t-il un avenir ?
Author: Immanuel WallersteinPublisher: La Découverte
ISBN: 2707191914
Category : Political Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 195
Book Description
On dit parfois qu'il est plus facile d'imaginer la fin du monde que celle du capitalisme. C'est à un véritable exercice d'imagination sur l'avenir très problématique du capitalisme que nous convient cinq des chercheurs les plus éminents de la sociologie historique, réunis autour d'I. Wallerstein, fécond héritier de Braudel et père de la théorie des " systèmes-mondes ". En échappant aux facilités du prophétisme, ils explorent ici une série de dimensions cruciales et de tendances " lourdes ". On a souvent dit qu'il était plus facile de penser la fin du monde que celle du capitalisme. Pourtant, ce système présente aujourd'hui des signes de rupture qui permettent d'en anticiper le déclin imminent, et ce en recourant non pas au prophétisme, mais beaucoup plus simplement aux sciences sociales. C'est ce que démontrent ici cinq des plus éminents chercheurs internationaux. Dans une langue qu'ils ont voulue accessible à tous, s'appuyant sur des idées fortes de Marx, Braudel ou Weber, ils explorent une série de tendances " lourdes " des sociétés contemporaines, telles que l'approfondissement des crises économiques et écologiques, le déclin probable des classes moyennes, les contradictions et désarticulations du système politique international ou encore les problèmes d'externalisation des coûts sociaux et environnementaux liés au fonctionnement du capitalisme mondial. Ils tirent également les enseignements historiques et sociologiques de la chute du bloc soviétique et des mutations actuelles de la Chine. Pour cette pléiade d'universitaires prestigieux, les limites internes et externes de l'expansion du " système monde " capitaliste sont sur le point d'être atteintes. Face à son déclin accéléré et multidimensionnel, il est urgent de penser sérieusement à ce qui peut et devrait lui succéder. L'ouvrage rappelle ainsi que les sciences sociales, lorsqu'elles explorent rigoureusement la réalité, peuvent également aider à imaginer un autre avenir.
Le Capital cent ans après
Author: The New Industrial State
Author: John Kenneth GalbraithPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400873185
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
With searing wit and incisive commentary, John Kenneth Galbraith redefined America's perception of itself in The New Industrial State, one of his landmark works. The United States is no longer a free-enterprise society, Galbraith argues, but a structured state controlled by the largest companies. Advertising is the means by which these companies manage demand and create consumer "need" where none previously existed. Multinational corporations are the continuation of this power system on an international level. The goal of these companies is not the betterment of society, but immortality through an uninterrupted stream of earnings. First published in 1967, The New Industrial State continues to resonate today.
The Age of Surveillance Capitalism
Author: Shoshana ZuboffPublisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1610395700
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 683
Book Description
The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior. In this masterwork of original thinking and research, Shoshana Zuboff provides startling insights into the phenomenon that she has named surveillance capitalism. The stakes could not be higher: a global architecture of behavior modification threatens human nature in the twenty-first century just as industrial capitalism disfigured the natural world in the twentieth. Zuboff vividly brings to life the consequences as surveillance capitalism advances from Silicon Valley into every economic sector. Vast wealth and power are accumulated in ominous new "behavioral futures markets," where predictions about our behavior are bought and sold, and the production of goods and services is subordinated to a new "means of behavioral modification." The threat has shifted from a totalitarian Big Brother state to a ubiquitous digital architecture: a "Big Other" operating in the interests of surveillance capital. Here is the crucible of an unprecedented form of power marked by extreme concentrations of knowledge and free from democratic oversight. Zuboff's comprehensive and moving analysis lays bare the threats to twenty-first century society: a controlled "hive" of total connection that seduces with promises of total certainty for maximum profit -- at the expense of democracy, freedom, and our human future. With little resistance from law or society, surveillance capitalism is on the verge of dominating the social order and shaping the digital future -- if we let it.
