Abstract: | Is top management work a stable or a changing phenomenon? Compared to a classic study about managerial work (Executive Behaviour, Strömbergs, Stockholm, 1951), this article examines evolving management practices in the internationalised economy. The results show that the participants in the new study exercised control in a more general and financially oriented way. At the same time, the important stakeholder relations have shifted from national actors such as government and trade associations towards financial and commercial actors in an international arena. But the perhaps most interesting development is the transforming nature of fragmentation in managerial work. In contrast to Carlson, who related fragmentation to time, this article highlights the emergence and consequences of fragmented space. |
