The indeterminacy of ‘temporariness’: Control and power in neo-bureaucratic organizations and work in UK television
Whereas historically the UK television industry has been characterized by hierarchy and vertical integration of programme production within a few large broadcasters, new neo-bureaucratic temporary organizational forms have proliferated in the industry in the past 20 years. This has been a product of a variety of factors, including globalization, technological change in the industry, deregulation and cost-cutting. This article draws on research in…
Elite Discourse and Institutional Innovation: Making the Hybrid Happen in English Public Services
This paper focuses on the strategic role of elites in managing institutional and organizational change within English public services, framed by the wider ideological and political context of neo-liberalism and its pervasive impact on the social and economic order over recent decades. It also highlights the unintended consequences of this elite-driven programme of institutional reform as realized in the emergence of hybridized regimes of ‘polyarc…
The Oxford Handbook of Sociology, Social Theory, and Organization Studies: Contemporary Currents
This article reviews the intersection of scholarship concerned with two types of collective action: social movements and formal organizations. Theories of social movements originated in research on crowd behavior while organization theory was founded on theories of rational bureaucracy. Social movement researchers began importing ideas from organization theory in the 1970s to account for the role of formal organizations, resources and strategic b…
Michel Foucault and the Administering of Lives
This chapter suggests that Michel Foucault is a nuisance for scholars of organizations, albeit a productive one. Foucault disavowed the study of organizations, yet his work was fundamentally concerned with the administering of lives, a central concern of scholars of organizations. The chapter explores this tension by examining four displacements that Foucault sought to effect: first, a move from asking ‘why’ type questions to ‘how’ type questions…

Researching Organizational Elites: A Critical Realist Perspective
This chapter reviews three analytical perspectives – ‘structural’, ‘network’ and ‘cultural’ – on the study of power and their implications for theorizing elites. It builds on this initial theoretical review by developing a critical realist approach to the study of organizational elites out of the structurally based perspective identified in the first section of the chapter. The explanatory potential of this critical realist approach is then illus…
Leaderism’: An Evolution of Managerialism in Uk Public Service Reform
This paper argues that ‘leaderism’– as an emerging set of beliefs that frames and justifies certain innovatory changes in contemporary organizational and managerial practice – is a development of managerialism that has been utilized and applied within the policy discourse of public service reform in the UK. The paper suggests that ‘leaderism’ is an evolution of entrepreneurial and cultural management ideologies and practices. An analysis of the a…
Why this special issue on governance in transition
In 2004, the guest editors of this special issue, along with some other colleagues at Cardiff Business School, launched an international agendasetting conference on ‘Governance without Government? New Forms of Governance in the Knowledge Economy and Society’, held in Cardiff in May 2005. It was felt that the rise of the knowledge economy and society from the 1980s onwards has radically destabilized seemingly ordered and stable ‘governance systems…
Governance: A code of multiple colours
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of some of the major theoretical perspectives on governance developed within the field of business and management. We critically review conceptualizations of governance in the mainstream literature, and contrast this with the relevant literature from the governmentality and institutionalist perspectives. This article emphasizes the diversity of conceptions of governance promoted by these different…
