| Abstract: | This article addresses the debate concerning the study of management. Arguing that definitions of management have suffered from conceptual obscurity, it advocates that an understanding of management must address relational, constitutive and political dimensions of its operation. The work of M. Foucault, particularly the concept of power/knowledge and his ascending analysis of power, offers such an approach. The relevance of Foucault for recasting the study of management is illustrated through an analysis of performance appraisal system introduced into UK universities. |
