Abstract

In this chapter we develop the idea of management as a temporal hybrid. What is to be gained from this perspective is displayed in an initial analysis of how management in a Danish municipality adheres to the methods of goal steering. The analysis shows that management makes self-transformation possible by processes of suspensions enabling an oscillation between two temporal logics of change. To this end, the chapter relies on the systems theory concept of technology and its timebinding effects. This contribution is not meant to be conclusive. It is an attempt at the articulation of a strong hypothesis which is valuable for understanding management more generally.
