New Managerialism and Gendered Identities. Women in the Academy and their Role in transforming Managerial Styles

      Аннотация: The introduction of ‘new managerialism’ with its push towards performance targets and regulation has radically altered the academic workplace. Initially it seemed that this new approach would lead to an increased number of women senior managers and an acknowledgement of the need for ‘feminine’ skills to move forward the transformational agenda. However, this book highlights the difficulties and challenges female managers still face in the Academy and the parallels in psychoanalytic terms in not being regarded as ‘good-enough mothers’.
