In this book, Mauro F. Guillén explores differing historical patterns in the adoption of the three major models of organizational management: scientific management, human relations, and structural analysis. Moving beyond Reinhard Bendix's classic Work and Authority, Models of Management takes a fresh look at how managers have used these models in four countries during the twentieth century.
Guillén's study of two liberal-democratic societies (the United States and Great Britain) and two corporatist societies (Germany and Spain) reveals significant differences in the way managerial elites and firms have adopted the three models. His data show that ideas themselves—independent of material interests and technology—can cause organizational change. Throughout the book, contrasts between modernist-technocratic and liberal-humanist mentalities, as well as between Protestant and Catholic religious backgrounds, emerge as decisive factors in determining managerial ideology and practice.
In addition to analyzing management methods in organizations, Guillén explores larger issues: the interaction among managerial, government, and labor elites; the impact of the state and the professions on managerial behavior; and the role that managers play in modern societies.

Condition: Muy bueno. : Este libro de Mauro F. Guillén explora los diferentes patrones históricos en la adopción de los tres modelos principales de gestión organizacional: gestión científica, relaciones humanas y análisis estructural. El autor ofrece una nueva perspectiva sobre cómo los gerentes han utilizado estos modelos en cuatro países durante el siglo XX. El estudio de Guillén de dos sociedades liberal-democráticas (Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña) y dos sociedades corporativistas (Alemania y España) revela diferencias significativas en la forma en que las élites gerenciales y las empresas han adoptado los tres modelos. Los datos muestran que las ideas mismas, independientemente de los intereses materiales y la tecnología, pueden causar cambios organizacionales. A lo largo del libro, los contrastes entre las mentalidades modernista-tecnocrática y liberal-humanista, así como entre los antecedentes religiosos protestantes y católicos, emergen como factores decisivos en la determinación de la ideología y la práctica gerencial.
