2020 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 1789206189 | PDF | 1 MB
Drawing on extended ethnographic studies of management consultancies in the Oslo region of Norway, this book seeks to find a richer understanding of their role in contemporary work life and the attraction their practices exert on people. The author shows that management consultancy is an arena of meaning that should be analysed as a 'cultural space'. With a detailed investigation into consultancy as a cultural phenomenon, Henningsen argues that its services can be viewed as a 'micro-utopian' vision which can lead to a happier working environment for individuals.
