Full textWhat is management and how do the people who become managers take on a managerial identity? How does text inform the manager's identity? From cultural studies we understand that the relationship between text and reader is not passive but that each works upon the other and that text is active in forming the identity of the reader. However, analysis of management textbooks published since the 1950s reveals that textboks construct a world in which chaos is kept at bay only by strong management and in which strong management is based upon the rationality of modernity. This book exposes and analyses such claims-to-truths and theorises their arguments using the work of Butler and Foucault, the sociology of scientific knowledge, crtical legal studies, art history and queer theory. By revealing the post-modern turn in these texts,The Social Construction of Managementis both a critical and empirical study that explores the constitution of managerial identities in the age of masseducation in management. An exciting contribution to the growing body of knowledge within critical management studies, this book challenges the way we think about organizations and their management, and about management education as a whole. This is thought provoking reading for anyone studying management or working int he managerial organization

Full textIn France, the general French social security scheme is mainly financed by contributions paid by employers and employees. Their payment is based on a declarative system which allows the social security authorities (Urssaf) to check the accuracy and completeness of the statements made by the contributors. The efficiency of the collection is essential to the preservation of the established mechanism of social insurance. It is important to reconcile the requirements of the financing of the general social security system with the rights of contributors. They have to benefit, during the control, from the guarantees of the adversarial principle, that is a right to be informed and a right to discuss before any decision is taken against them. More generally, outside the specific scope of the verification processes, the French positive law aims to improve the legal security of the contributors and the equality in relation to public burdens. The construction of the rights of the contributors is characterized by the search for a balance between these two imperatives which turn out sometimes incompatible. Also, it is long and careful and sometimes distinguished by the partial and ad-hoc non-compliance with the established principles. Taking into account the current situation, this study also formulates several proposals of improvement of the rights of the contributors keeping in mind the imperative of the financing of the French social security scheme
