1.	Gherardi, Silvia, et al. (author) Imagine being asked to evaluate your CEO ... : Using the constructive controversy approach to teach gender and management in times of economic crisis 2015 In: Management Learning. - : SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD. - 1350-5076 .- 1461-7307. ; 46:1, s. 6-23 Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract This article addresses the relationship between gender and management as intertwined discursive practices. Following a constructive controversial approach, we proposed to the students to complete a short story in which they have to give a feedback either to a fictitious female or to a male boss. The article has a dual aim since it offers a reflection on a teaching methodology suited to foster critical thinking in the classroom and analyzes the narratives so produced in search of what constitutes the students' idea of good management. In positioning men/women CEO within a narrative, students enact a moral order that evaluates management in society. Their narratives reveal how the economic crisis has undermined the positive image of the male manager, while femaleness is emphasized for its anti-managerial imaginary. Moreover, the idea of what constitutes good management is constructed around an idea of care for both male and female CEOs.
