Administrative practice and science are currently undergoing a profound reassessment. The terms "stress", "burn-out", or "meaningless jobs" give us an idea of the reasons why the commitment to work is at half-mast today, which is rather worrying for the economic development itself. Faced with the added complexity of various technological, environmental, and geopolitical disruptions, managers are ultimately called upon to completely reinvent the way they work and think. In an attempt to transform our conception of management, the method proposed in Humanities and Organizations in Dialogue: Hermeneutic Inquiries is based on the study of contemporary humanities. Consequently, Ghislain Deslandes comments on numerous essays to provide managers with a unique way of understanding what is happening. The approach reintroduces a measure of philosophical reflexivity into a world where it is all too often absent, in order to understand business administration with new perspectives and new tools, especially in terms of language. It also seeks to better understand how managers should respond, with subtlety and tact, to the socio-economic and environmental challenges facing organizations.

“This book is to management writing what Lawrence Johnston’s Hidcote is to gardening. Whereas the latter is a “garden for all seasons”, the former is a reflection on management that never goes out of fashion. The book shows that in the context of social sciences and the humanities the meaning of management reflection can be seen and appreciated. Indeed, while some business schools have been dedicating themselves to building castles of managerialism, scholars and managers have been increasingly more concerned about the futility of such hollow gigantomania. The book offers a much-needed antidote to this ‘triumph of emptiness’ that has been attributed to much modern management. In fact, for the reader seeking meaningful management, it is a glorious find, offering refreshing ideas, answers, and questions to ponder, to delight in, struggle with.”
