Description: "This book offers a new approach to the study of organizational change. It combines a broad social structural perspective, drawing on new institutionalism, with a detailed account of how actors within and outside organizations adopt and reconstruct new 'strategic' discourses such as marketing, information technology and human relations management. This process is explored in an account of the ongoing transformation of UK financial services since the 1980s."--BOOK JACKET.
