Produktbeschreibung

Alongside articles on social care as traditionally conceived, this reader offers articles from a wide variety of settings, including those in health and education. It brings together classic management texts and material with a management focus, providing a stimulating range of perspectives on the manager's role. In the management of something as complex as care, this must involve: listening to service users, maintaining professional values, enabling participation and facilitating learning. "The Managing Care Reader" reflects these imperatives as it focuses in on the experience of being in the front line. In four parts, it looks at how managers experience what they do, their managerial responsibilities, the key professional issues, and the importance of the organizational environment.
