This book explores the reconfiguration of management as `digital management¿ in the context of World War 2 and its aftermath, from the US industrial mobilization to the end of the cold war period.

Akila, Agnès et François vivent ou survivent à Paris, dans un futur indéfini où d'étranges clones numériques prennent le pas sur nos vies. Akila est une migrante égyptienne, Agnès un des dirigeants de la plateforme immersive Zeta et François un écrivain paumé. A partir d'une nouvelle construite à la façon des Mille et Une Nuits, l'auteur propose de réfléchir aux transformations du travail et à leurs modes d'organisation à l'oeuvre dans le présent de notre capitalisme managérial. Il invite les lecteurs et les lectrices à se poser une question essentielle: quelle société future sommes nous déjà en train de façonner dans le présent de nos désirs ?

"The bulk of Management and Organization Studies deals with time as organization. Time is performed, organized, enacted, and as such is a locus of power. In this edited book, we stress the importance of organization as time. Time is an organizing force. The happening and becoming of collective activity, its technologies, its images, keep empowering, dominating or (more rarely) emancipating the fragile and ephemeral subjectivities of our world. The turn to digitality in all aspects of contemporary life has made the organizing power of time more pervasive than ever. How to describe organization as time? How to explore the relationship between becoming, duration, images, events, non-events or historicity and their relationships with power and emancipation? These are the rich and varied challenges seized by this book by a team of leading scholars interested in time and temporality in the context of management and organization"--

This handbook shows the unexpected richness and diversity of key phenomenological and post-phenomenological thinkers in an aim to help management and organization scholars to understand a huge variety of contemporary phenomena such as AI, digitalization of organizational processes, remote work, financial markets, and much more.
