Opis

This volume explores key concepts that have gained currency in organization studies, and revisits traditional concepts such as change, strategy, and organization. It discusses organizational knowledge, judgment, and reflection-in-action, and suggests complex forms of theorizing that do justice to the complexity of organizations.

Recenzje

As much as anyone recently, Hari Tsoukas has shown how philosophy is not just relevant to but invaluable for organizational and management theory. This insightful and timely volume features prominent essays of his from the past decade that engage philosophy in an attempt to better understand organizational phenomena. Collectively, they bear witness to the philosophical dimensions of organization and management theory while richly articulating Tsoukas' own unique performative phenomenology that combines phenomenological, process theoretical, and Wittgensteinian ideas.
