In-depth interviews with 200 middle managers and 50 senior executives provide a compelling picture of the politics of corporate life and the human costs of restructuring. The contrast of restructuring in different cultural contexts illuminates similarities and differences in corporate response to international competition. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about the dignity and meaning of work in large organizations today.'

Managing in the Modern Corporation explains how and why large companies have changed their organisational structures and philosophies, focusing in particular on how these changes affect the careers of middle managers. Based on in-depth interviews with over two hundred middle and senior managers working in large corporations in the USA, UK and Japan, it shows how the working lives of managers have been subjected to major disruption, involving work intensification and reduced opportunities for career progression. Furthermore, it argues that such widespread overwork and poor treatment of highly skilled and highly motivated staff has created a major international problem that must be addressed. The book presents a range of solutions to this important problem, suggesting that there are possibilities for saner, less brutal organisational environments.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e About the cover\u003cbr\u003e 1.
