Professor Paul Thompson is the head of the department of Human Resource Management at the University of Strathclyde Business School. [1] He is one of the main theorists of Labour Process theory. He is also a co-editor of the journal Renewal about the politics of the British Labour Party. [2] He was previously a member of Big Flame and was co-author of "The Revolution Unfinished? A Critique of Trotskyism" in 1977. [3] In his academic work Thompson has been critical both of traditional managerialist approaches to organisation theory and of Critical Management Studies, disagreeing with their mostly post-structural theoretical framework. From his articles in Renewal, Thompson describes himself as a supporter of the New Labour project, but has become increasingly disillusioned with it, disagreeing with the war on Iraq as well as domestic labour policies. He is in favour of a more clear social democratic policy "fitting markets to the people rather than people to markets" within the European Union.
