Not business as usual” – a tale of critical participatory action research and the extended case method
Purpose This paper outlines the approach of critical participatory action research (CPAR) and the extended case method (ECM) within an applied research context. The context for the research example explored is set within employee ownership. Design/methodology/approach CPAR is at the heart of this paper. The ECM is applied to underpin the approaches adopted. The approach to managing data is qualitative. Findings A journey of originality is present…

Outside looking in: Gendered roles and the wellbeing of working student mothers studying for a part‐time PhD
This article contributes to the growing evidence based on well‐being in doctoral study. It draws on 35 qualitative, in‐depth interviews to explore how the well‐being of an understudied group—working doctoral student mothers—is affected when undertaking part‐time PhDs. While there is a growing literature on the research student experience and an increased awareness of mental health issues in doctoral study, there has been little exploration of the…

Micro-foundations of organizational ambidexterity in the context of cross-border mergers and acquisitions
When the ‘well-oiled machine’ meets the ‘pyramid of people: ’ Role perceptions and hybrid working practices of middle managers in a binational organization – Arte
This article examines the middle management representations of organization and managerial roles within a specific bicultural organizational context. The argument explores the extant cross-cultural management literature and identifies two predominant positions: a functionalist-stable stance and a dynamically interpretive perspective of culture. Historically, both positions have contributed to understanding management roles and behaviours in diffe…
Sustainability and organizational behavior: A micro‐foundational perspective
Organizational behavior is a well‐established academic field comprising a comprehensive and wide range of extant literature. In contrast, sustainability and micro‐foundational literature constitute significant but nevertheless more relatively recent emergent bodies of work with each having developed particular predilections in the manner in which they are cast and discussed. There is scope, therefore, to bring to bear a range of organizational be…
Moments like diamonds in space: Savoring the ageing process through positive engagement with adventure sports
There are over 10 million people in the United Kingdom aged over 65, a figure predicted to double by 2050. Despite calls for the outdoors to be a focus for health-related physical activity younger adults still tend to be the predominant users of this resource. In an attempt to understand how older adults aged 65+ relate to outdoor adventure sports, data from purposive samples of rock climbers from the north of England (n = 8) and sea kayakers fro…

Engaging with genocide: The Challenge for Organization and Management Studies
Genocide has been an enduring and profoundly disturbing feature of history. Yet, scholars of organization and management have approached it in a rather limited and marginal way. In this article, the authors propose that genocide far from constituting a tragic phenomenon at the margins of contemporary society raises questions that go to the heart of organization and management studies. In particular, they argue that genocide represents a challenge…
Reading lists: A study of tutor and student perceptions, expectations and realities
The article surfaces, examines and draws conclusions on the varying perceptions, expectations and operationalised ‘realities’ of tutor and student behaviour in relation to reading lists. The argument identifies a paucity of literature on reading lists, but, nevertheless, locates a number of potential literature sources with which to inform the discussion. Field research using email and paper‐based questionnaires with tutors and students from an E…
Outdoor Management Development as Organizational Transformation: A Study of Anglo-French Paradoxical Experience in the Application of Alternative Human Resource Development Approaches
Outdoor management development (OMD) is a controversial management development technique generating revealing perspectives on potential transformations in embedded practices in cultural contexts. OMD takes place in outdoor (mountainous) locations and embraces outdoor pursuits (hiking, climbing and canoeing) and `alternative'styled activities, for example, using theatre or story-telling. `Alternative' here makes a contrast with notional mainstream…
The “militarizing” of organization and management studies: Reconnoitring the tensions – problems and possibilities for reshaping the terrain
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to undertake an analysis of the engagement of organization and management literature with military and militarization themes and issues. Design/methodology/approach An interpretive, textual literature analysis which identifies a range of international themes and issues in relation to militarization. Findings Identifies a modernistic‐managerialist tendency in the organization and management literature which ele…
Bonds of burden and bliss: The management of social relations in a peacekeeping organisation
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the gendered social bonds and the everyday organisational practices and discourses of peacekeepers. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on preliminary analysis of empirical material gathered through a seven‐month ethnography among Finnish peacekeeping officers in training and service. Findings In contrast to studies on homosociality, men's bonding and cohesion as a basis of optimal combat…
Shifting foundations: Redrawing strategic management's military heritage
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the limitations of what the field of strategic management sees as its military foundations. Design/methodology/approach Categorizes and synthesizes the critical historical approach of Michel Foucault and uses this to interrogate assumptions made about military approaches to strategy in the strategic management literature. Findings Suggests that there is a much broader range of military approache…
Introduction: Militarization and international business
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce a special issue which looks into how militarization can be seen as an entity from which international business, management and organization can or cannot glean potentially useful lessons. Design/methodology/approach Five papers have been used to give a suitable basis for the reconceptualisation and recontextualisation of the military and militarization in relation to international business. Findin…
The glass beads of global war: Dealing, death and the policy analysis market
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to subject the short lived “Policy Analysis Market” (PAM) – “a Pentagon betting market on terror attacks” – and media and academic reactions to it, to some critical analysis. Design/methodology/approach The paper engages sustained invocation of the relationship between simulation and representation, for the story of the Policy Analysis Market (PAM) and its demise is replete with the tension between the two. It…
The disavowal of the military
Purpose This conceptual paper is offered in place of a systematic analysis of militarization in organizations and the wider world. It proceeds on the understanding that militarization implies deep historical tendencies that are not easy to simply avoid, especially where one wishes to observe or to analyse phenomena systematically. Design/methodology/approach This paper seeks out alternative means of engagement with references to the psychoanalyti…
Consuming desires: Performing gender in Virginia Woolf's Orlando, Neil Jordan's the crying game and sally potter's Orlando
This essays examines how twentieth century queer practices— such as queer literature, queer theory, and queer film— attempt to resist and reconfigure the historical legacy of compulsory homosexuality and the commodification of gender. I begin by tracing the ways in which the eighteenth century discourse on masquerade offered resistance to the limited, culturally sanctioned array of gendered subject positions of the time in order to evaluate the e…
A Multi-Vantaged Approach to Measurement of Behavioral and Affect States for Clinical and Psychobiological Research
The development of methods based on the “multivantaged” assessment of behavioral, affect, and cognitive constructs in patients with affective disorders, is reponed. The state and outcome constructs were derived for application in clinical and psychobiological studies, particularly those aimed at testing biobehavioral hypotheses and the evaluation of the effects of drugs. The development of the constructs is based on the combining of scales from e…
