Culture, Innovation and Entrepreneurship
On Practice and Institution
The concepts of practice and institution are of longstanding importance across the social sciences, that have been too disconnected. Bringing together novel theoretical statements and empirical studies that bridge these social worlds, these two volumes provide a major touchstone for scholars interested in the study of practice and institution
Management and Modernity
This chapter treats Modernity as a cultural and social project of modernization that involves bringing as many aspects of human existence as possible under the control of rational processes of knowledge and practice. Management is thus at the heart of this project as it is a means to the end of establishing rational order through design, classification, and intervention. The chapter begins by looking at how formal theories of administration have …
Justification, Evaluation and Critique in the Study of Organizations
Prelims -- Introduction -- Managing organizational pluralism : how individuals navigate moral contradictions and compromise -- Looking at organizations critically : rhetoric, justification and criticism-as-practice -- Reconsidering valuation and evaluation in organizations -- Pushing the boundaries of pragmatic sociology's theoretical agenda -- Index
The Oxford Handbook of Management
The purpose of this handbook is to analyse and explore the evolution of management: the core functions and how they may have changed; its position in the culture/zeitgeist of modern society; the institutions and ideologies that support it; and likely challenges and changes in the future. We then ask whether the twentieth century was the ‘golden age’ of the corporate, bureaucratic manager and if so what we might expect in the future. And if this w…

Religion and Organization Theory
Religion and Organization Theory
Despite the profound influence that religious organizations exert, religion occupies a curiously marginal place in organization theory. This volume aims to make available in one place existing knowledge on religion and organizations, encouraging more organization theorists to include religion as part of their research activities and agenda
Configurational Theory and Methods in Organizational Research
Some 20 years after the emergence of configurational theory as a key perspective in organization studies in the 1990s, this approach has yet to deliver on its promise. While we know that configurations the relative arrangement of parts and elements - matters, empirical research on configurations is just beginning to deliver on its promise
Rethinking Power in Organizations, Institutions, and Markets
In this volume we strive to go beyond the dual approach of power opposing structural/oversocialized perspectives and situational perspectives, through theoretical and empirical contributions stressing power as a. continuously 'living' phenomenon. In particular, the volume will address issues including integrating the various forms of power in Organization Sociology. How can we reconsider the exercise of power as polymorphic and multidimensional? …
