FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Skilfully analysing the challenges posed by management practices to the human condition, Jean-François Chanlat examines the sociological evolution of modern management. This book acts as a crucial pedagogical guide to the history and essence of managerial operations.This book presents a critical reflection on contemporary managerial practices from an anthropological perspective, outlining an essential methodological framework for the use of management sciences alongside social sciences such as anthropology and psychology. The modern world is faced with formidable socio-economic, technological, environmental and ethical challenges, thus this book emphasises that to succeed, we must meet these collectively. Ultimately, Chanlat assesses how we can improve leadership practices and, through this, tackle core societal obstacles.Homo Anthropologicus is vital for students and professors of business ethics, public administration and social sciences. It also provides an illuminating insight into the interdisciplinary nature of management studies for executives and managers within these fields.

I recommend it to anyone looking for a humanist anthropological alternative to the narrow vision of homo oeconomicus. -- Franck Aggeri, MINES ParisTech, FranceHomo Anthropologicus is an essential book in the current era, in which management scholars often prioritize their career advancements over the profound contemplation of the world. Chanlats reflections show us that we can think about society in a sharp manner. This book is essential for anyone seeking a stimulating and insightful reflection on current affairs. -- Rafael Alcadipani, EAESP, BrazilIn this rich tapestry of a book Professor Chanlat compellingly interweaves French and English speaking intellectual traditions into a sophisticated argument with both erudition and humanity. He vividly depicts the many human facets of management, developing a timely provocation for rethinking how contemporary management is studied, theorized and enacted. -- Sarah Robinson, Rennes School of Business, FranceHere is the book of a true humanist. Mixing Anglosaxon contributions and a stunningly rich French literature from anthropology, Chanlat offers us a convincing and much needed departure from the narrow focus of mainstream managerialism. In a brilliant synthesis of what makes us human, nurtured by thirty years of reflection and a vast international experience, he lays down a forceful template on how organizations can help people and societies reach their full potential. -- Jean Pasquero, Université du Québec à Montréal, CanadaHomo Anthropologicus is an extraordinary exploration of the multifaceted dimensions of management and its deep-rooted connections to the human experience. Jean-Francois Chanlats anthropological perspective illuminates the historical and cultural context that birthed contemporary management. Chanlat skilfully navigates the tapestry of human existence within organizations and urges a re-evaluation of prevailing management paradigms. The book encourages critical self-reflection and serves as an indispensable guide to a humanistic and ethical approach to organizational life. -- Christoph Barmeyer, University of Passau, Germany Details ISBN1035334321 Author Jean-François Chanlat Publisher Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781035334322 Format Hardcover Imprint Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Subtitle A Humanistic Management Perspective Place of Publication Cheltenham Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience Professional & Vocational DEWEY 658 Pages 184 Publication Date 2024-07-23 UK Release Date 2024-07-23 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
