No organization is immune from the influence of management tools. Such tools as norms, indicators, ranking, evaluation grids and management control systems have moved outside the managerial and consultancy realm within which they were first developed to reach public administrations and policy-makers, as well as a range of other governmental and non-governmental organizations. Taking management tools out of the practical and utilitarian contexts to which they are often consigned and approaching them from a social analytical perspective, this book gives primacy to these everyday objects that constitute the background of organizational life and remain too often unquestioned. Bringing together developing streams of research from anthropology, political science, social psychology, sociology, accounting, organisation theory and management, Ève Chiapello and Patrick Gilbert offer an unprecedented theoretical synthesis that will help managers, scholars and policy-makers to unpack the functional and dysfunctional roles and effects of management tools within and across organizations.

Lone Star Politics: Theories, Concepts, and Political Activity in Texas blends the history of political activity in the state with theories that underlie and explain this activity. Through classic and contemporary political literature, students learn about the unique political culture that exists in Texas and how governments at various levels function within it.Over the course of thirteen chapters, students explore topics such as the evolution and impact of the Texas Constitution, the Texas view of federalism, the role of local governments in the state, and the role of the executive branch. They study the legislature and judiciary, and see how conservative ideology influences both public and social policy. They become familiar with the state's economy, its political parties, and their roles in the evolution of the state. The book concludes with an examination of interest groups in the state and the parts they play in the political system.The second edition features new content on Texas demographic information for Asian and Native American residents; e-governance; judicial powers; local, county, and state courts; and educational funding and property taxes. Lone Star Politics is ideal for classes on Texas government that focus on the concepts and theories driving the state's political activity.

Innovation is omnipresent, but its complexity is rarely examined in depth. Far from euphoric or strict technical approaches, this book offers a fresh perspective on innovation by exploring its underlying tensions, paradoxes and dynamics.Adopting a dual approach, The Hidden Faces of Innovation combines a detailed analysis of the managerial dynamics at the heart of innovation processes with an in-depth reflection on the structural, technological and cultural dimensions that underpin them.The first part of this book focuses on the concrete practices of innovation management: skills management, the specificities of creative industries, and the evolution of working methods in the age of remote working. The second part broadens the perspective by examining the effects of digital technologies, the role of work environments in stimulating creativity and the tensions generated by organizational agility initiatives.Drawing on both empirical and theoretical work, the book highlights the often-invisible drivers of innovation and invites us to rethink the conditions for innovation, in line with the realities experienced in contemporary organizations.
