Synopsis

This book is about the inner workings of an administrative system in the public sector, and is a study of what managers actually do. It looks at why they act in the ways they do, what influences their focus of attention, which issues or people within an organization attract them, and which they avoid. Its clarity of style and lack of academic jargon makes it accessible to non-specialists.

Revue de presse

While there are numerous popular books about managers and managing, few of them are thoughtful, analytic treatments of the managerial role in organizations. Hannaway's book provides an insightful and complex examination of one of the most diverse roles in formal organizations. Her discussion of this literature highlights the importance of social, contextual, and hierarchical factors influencing decision premises. This study should spawn further examinations of managers in other organizational settings. (American Journal of Sociology)
