Finding a Path Not Taken: Management as a Design-Oriented Professional Discipline
Michael Barzelay, LSE
This talk is based on a recently published book, Public Management as Design-Oriented Professional Discipline. While this book is a manifesto for public management, it also opens up possibilities for a reorientation of fields of management concerned with other forms of enterprise. The possible reorientation marries up two historical rivals to the “modern medical school” approach to the field of management, one of which is due to Herbert Simon’s internal opposition to that approach at the Carnegie School in the 1950s-1960s. The talk will draw on Mie Augier and Jim March’s The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of Change: North American Business Schools After the Second World War (2011), suggesting an a path not taken, against the modern medical school approach, that they did not fully identify.
