摘要：This paper investigates the concept of management in industrial organisations. The main question addressed is whether textbook images of management as part of a rationalisation process really reflect what is happening in the management of present-day industrial production. The paper is based on a small case study of a Danish manufacturer of solutions to the mobile telephone industry, focusing on the project management of Dan Firm. Based on the case study and Weber's (1968) ideas on legitimer Herrschaft, the paper concludes that management cannot be just a rational exercise. Tradition must be revitalised and included in theories of management if we are to more adequately understand management and management practice.
