Critical Management Studies : A Critical Review
-
Ingår i: Journal of Management Studies. - 0022-2380.
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we review the development of critical management studies, point at problems and explore possible developments. We begin by tracing out two previous waves of critical management studies. We then focus on more recent work in critical management studies and identify ten over-arching themes (Academia, alternatives organizations, control and resistance, discourse, Foucauldian studies, gender, identity, Marxism, post-colonialism, and psychoanalysis). We argue that CMS has largely relied on one-dimensional critique which focused on negation. This has made the field increasingly stale, focused on the usual suspects and predictable. We identify a number of problems calling for critique and rethinking. We label these author-itarianism, obscurantism, formulaic radicalism, usual-suspectism and empirical light-touchism.

Critical performativity: The unfinished business of critical management studies
- 2009

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We argue that critical management studies (CMS) should be conceptualized as a profoundly performative project. The central task of CMS should be to actively and pragmatically intervene in specific debates about management and encourage progressive forms of management. This involves CMS becoming affirmative, caring, pragmatic, potential focused, and normative. To do this, we suggest a range of tactics including affirming ambiguity, working with mysteries, applied communicative action, exploring heterotopias and engaging micro-emancipations.

Extending critical performativity

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article we extend the debate about critical performativity. We begin by outlining the basic tenets of critical performativity and how this has been applied in the study of management and organization. We then address recent critiques of critical performance. We note these arguments suffer from an undue focus on intra-academic debates; engage in author-itarian theoretical policing; feign relevance through symbolic radicalism; and repackage common sense. We take these critiques as an opportunity to offer an extended model of critical performativity that involves focusing on issues of public importance; engaging with non-academic groups using dialectical reasoning; scaling up insights through movement building; and propagating deliberation.

Chefsliv - det ska fan vara chef
- 2014
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Boken emanerar ur ett antal delstudier av chefsarbete, identitet och organisation som vi i organisationsgruppen vid Företagsekonomiska institutionen, Lunds universitet, har bedrivit under snart ett decennium. Huvudidén är att granska väsentliga delar av modernt arbets- och organisationsliv på nära håll. Detta har skett genom djupstudier av ett antal personer som arbetar som mellanchefer och/eller funktionsansvariga. Tanken är att förstå representativa förhållanden i fråga om upplevelser, arbetssituation och identitet i ett organisationssammanhang. Vi söker därigenom på ett levande sätt beskriva, tolka och teoretiskt belysa hur organisationer och yrkesgrupper fungerar. Vi belyser dilemman och problem bortom vad mer formella och officiella beskrivningar ger sken av. Organisationer är ofta svårhanterliga fögderier, och många yrkesgrupper och chefer lyckas inte riktigt få ihop ideal och positiva identiteter med tillvarons komplexitet och imperfektioner. Det moderna arbetslivet är på många sätt motsägelsefullt och komplicerat – till synes goda ideal och klara framgångsrecept kan lätt medföra låsningar och förvandlas till fällor för chefer.

Global leadership - sustaining classic managerialism
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Research Handbook of Global Leadership: Making a difference. - : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 9781782545354 - 9781782545347 ; , s. 39-53
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter critically discusses the currently celebrated and seemingly successful trend of global leadership. We claim that part of the answer to why global leadership has become so successful lies in how it is framed and presented as an all-embracing and intuitively good discourse closely aligned with the traditional leader-centred view on leadership in general. While this makes the discourse of global leadership appealing and seductive it also maintains what the chapter suggests to be classic managerialism – emphasis on the manager as the central hub of which everything else in organizations revolves - inherent in much general leadership research. The chapter aims at problematizing this orientation and demystifying global leadership by conceptualizing much of it as an ideological project. In contrast to this the chapter offer a more practice-oriented view on global leadership that includes a much stronger focus on relations, interactions and processes. The latter also suggesting that leadership is a socially constructive influencing process involving meaning, ideas, values and feelings.
