The overarching logic of privatization due to Structural Adjustment Programs prepared the ground for far-reaching changes in management practices. TQM became exhorted as a new way of manufacturing. This new management concept was presented as a crucial part of new corporate success and put strong emphasis on empowerment of employers, customer service and charismatic leadership. Interviews with top and middle management in a range of Burkinabé companies showed a willingness for mimetic learning but it turned out that translating the concept into specific new practices by way of new routines remained a complex matter. Although this management concept sometimes became part of the dispositional practice of managers – a new habitus – company practices could be better characterized as improvisation on quality improvement. http://irs.ub.rug.nl/ppn/317807692 Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:00:00 CET Investigating Comprehensive Security in the Humanitarian Context of Georgia: NOHA Field Trip, 10th – 25th of May 2007.
