Time and space in managerial work: literature reviewIn the article by Stefan Tengblad (2002, Time and space in managerial work, Scandinavian Journal of Management, pp. 543-566 .), the working behavior of top management in the internationalized economy is investigated. He studied the behavior of eight CEOs in Sweden. The purpose of his article is to make a comparison with CEO behavior 50 years ago using methods similar to the classic “Executive Behavior” study (Carlson, 1951). Both similarities and differences are examined. The focus of Tengblad's article is primarily on continuity versus change regarding top managers' time and space allocation. The objective of this review is to evaluate Stefan Tengblad's (2002) research against the Carlson (1951) study and find from the methodology they provide useful inputs for the theoretical discussion of managerial work. Since the second part of the last century, there has been an increase in interest in the nature of managerial work and the way in which managers distribute their time. Tengblad (2002) stated that in previous research, three theoretical interpretations have been presented particularly regarding the stability or change of managerial work: the importance of the environment, strategic action and sense-making; and the existence of traditions (pp. 544-545). These three aspects are connected and outline the content of the study on managerial work (p. 545). The previously mentioned Tengblad and Carlson studies divided CEO behavior into different dimensions that influenced CEO work behavior. These dimensions are: the size of the space related to the physical location, the use of communication techniques, contact patterns such as meetings, the functional orientation of the CEO's work (regarding the type of functional areas to which the activities are related of the CEO), the type of administrative activity action and fragmentation in the CEO's work. These dimensions are based on the three theoretical aspects mentioned above. Tengblad's study of dimensions identified a couple of important changes in the form and content of CEO behavior compared to Carlson's (1951) study. According to Tengblad, important differences concern:Expanding and fragmented space. The fragmentation of work has shifted from a focus on time (Carlson, 1951) to a focus on space (Tengblad 2002). The expansion of space has affected CEOs' daily work behavior. CEOs now travel more often, faster, longer and more globally. Today they carry out their work in a wide variety of different places and contexts (Tengbald, 2002, p. 559). But the geographic spaces within which companies operate are also expanding globally.
