Books by David (Northumbria University Collins

This book provides a concise, critical expert overview of the elite group of consultants, analysts and commentators known as 'management gurus'.Often dismissed as lacking in substance, this volume demonstrates that gurus must be taken seriously given their impact on the world of management.

Examining Tom Peters' key works and reviewing his detractors, this work offers an analysis of his contributions to the field of management that goes beyond the simple chronological model that has previously been used.

This book is an original analysis of change management in organisations, in the light of wider sociological perspectives. It critically examines the theoretical frameworks underpinning many contemporary accounts of organisational change.
