The Relevant PhD - Hugo Letiche - Bog

There has been a decided shift towards desiring greater "relevance" inmanagement education by serving the needs of management practice.The importance of a careful defi nition of "relevance" and the retentionof a critical perspective needs to be asserted. In this respect, whatHugo Letiche and Geoff Lightfoot have done together, and writtenup in this book, is an outstanding example of a commitment torestore "relevance" via critical engagement to management pedagogyand practice. Their success is a clear demonstration of the practicalrelevance of imagination, commitment and scholarship.Prof Heather Hopfl (University of Essex)
