Feminine Writing
This article provides a case study of feminine writing, including the production of text in the form of a series of three dolls. It seeks to broaden ideas about what is acceptable as research including notions of ‘data’ and representation. To do this it employs the written word, but includes fiction, asking if this is ‘fictional truth’. The article considers the position of women in organizations through the creation of three rag dolls which repr…
Inquiring into Red/Red Inquiring
This layered account of an inquiry into ‘red’ emerged out of a collective biography workshop. In the middle of the Wiltshire countryside, an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars gathered together to write and make other things and marks on paper that asked questions of, and into, the spaces between words, people, things and their environments. We did not set out to workshop or write into or paint ‘red’ but, rather, it was red tha…
Thirteen notebooks for Walter Benjamin
Walter Benjamin was fascinated by notebooks which he kept compulsively throughout his life. In this methodologically experimental paper, I create a series of thirteen notebooks for Walter Benjamin as a way of engaging with Benjamin's thought and also of considering the importance of notebooks as one of the tools available to organizational scholars. I will use this experimental work to draw tentative conclusions about the role of the visual in re…
Eliza, Anita and me
This article explores the use of portraiture as a research method in organisation studies using the case example of Anita Roddick and the Body Shop International. The author makes a series of portraits in order to explore what this art practice can contribute to our understanding of both the identity of the contemporary organisational leader and the practice of organisational research itself. It explores the nature and purpose of portraiture and …
Ritualized Christmas headgear or ‘Pass me the tinsel, mother
The article examines the wearing of festive headgear as a way of understanding contemporary organizational rituals, pointing to analogous historical practice, which reveals the way that power is deployed while seeming to be relaxed. It categorizes the display behaviour associated with this apparent suspense of organizational power through four types of headgear and will trace the historical antecedents of such behaviour. It goes on to say somethi…
Howard and the mermaid
Using a New Historicist approach of reading by juxtaposition, an analysis is offered of two types of text; one the autobiography of Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, and the other the Starbucks logo which presents an unusual two-tailed mermaid. These texts are read alongside a medieval French romance and other historical representations of mermaids. We draw on the work of Julia Kristeva in Powers of Horror (1982) to investigate the idea of the ab…
Rose's Turn” Female Careers in the Life (1908–1984) and Portrayals (1940–1959) of Ethel Merman
This article discusses the construction of images of female careers through a case from musical theater, with a particular focus on following the life and roles of Ethel Merman – ‘The Grande Dame of Broadway’ – both on and off the stage. By focusing on an individual performer, we wish to highlight how we can achieve a more complex understanding of the constructions of female career-possibilities than we can by studying representations or biograph…

Art as experience
This article reflects on an arts-based action inquiry process involving students on an MSc in Management Learning and Change. Following Dewey’s (1934/2005) contention that art is grounded in experience, we adopt a purposefully non-aggrandizing perspective on ‘leadership as art’, arguing that this prompts greater critical attention to possibilities for inclusiveness in these realms of human endeavour. We propose the present inquiry, in which parti…
Space, place and the colonies
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to re‐examine a celebrity CEO account using a variety of literary forms to uncover discourses of colonisation. Focuses on the probanza de mérito and the wonder tale or traveller's tale. Ideas of Non‐Place (Augé) and spatial practices (Lefebvre) conclude the analysis. Design/methodology/approach A close reading of the account of the building of the Starbucks retail empire, given in the CEO account: Pour Your He…
O Fortuna! Medieval conduct texts, the collapse of Enron, and a call for a revolution in management education
This article takes as its starting point the derivation of the word ‘revolution’ from the Latin word revolvere, and its original sense of ‘to revolve, roll back’.This links, etymologically, the concept of overturning the status quo with the image of a wheel. From Boethius’ De consolatione philosophiae, written at the end of the Roman Empire, until the early modern period, Fortune’s Wheel was the ubiquitous image of the mutability of this sublunar…
The Economy of Magnificence
The Lady and the Unicorn tapestries in the Musee Cluny in Paris are an early example of the use of excess as personal promotion. They were made for Jean Le Viste, a young man on the rise through the fifteenth‐century French court to demonstrate his wealth and taste and thus his fitness to aspire to high position. The paper began as an exercise in thinking about a contemporary high‐flyer might choose to portray on a similar set of art works. This …
Brute force
Foundation myths have been at the heart of western culture since classical times. Business foundation myths lie at the heart of corporate culture. Here, the nature and purpose of foundation stories are questioned, as is their status as innocent narratives.This article takes the narrative tropes of Europe’s archetypal national foundation myth, the founding of Rome, retold in the epic Latin poem, Virgil’s Aeneid, and traces their reemergence in the…
Refusing the Therapeutic
Quiltmaking is an unusual form of inquiry in Western Business and Management Schools. This piece examines the practice through a reflection on how my thoughts about it developed after the first Art of Management Conference in London in 2002. It examines the institutional context that makes this practice so alien to the Academy, and my own feelings that I must defend myself against charges of self-indulgence. It draws on the work of psychotherapis…
Invitation to the Journey
Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge" according to William Wordsworth. This article uses poetry as a lens through which to examine an organisational phenomenon: the opulent decoration of a company's headquarters. As an alternative to more conventional research methods, the aesthetic qualities of poetry are particularly helpful in understanding the deep emotions of shame, guilt and remorse that the article centres on. The article works wi…
Putting Feminist Theory to Work
This article describes an attempt to use a collaborative action research approach to enquire into the gender implications of seemingly neutral organizational practices, and thereby bring about change. The methodology draws on both the feminist critique of objective research, and thinking on participatory and action-oriented research strategies. Working with a work group in a manufacturing plant, a project was devised to establish a self-managing …
