Project Description.
The Making of (Colonial) Bureaucracies and the travel of Management Training.

This monograph seeks to trace the emergence and travel of management training, from the institutions of indirect rule in mid-19th century British India, to the rise and dissemination of management studies in early to mid 20th century United States, and its reception back within postcolonial bureaucracies through the globalisation of New Public Management (NPM) since the 1990s.
