  • Artifacts in a Bureaucratic Monastery 1

    Janne Tidselbak Larsen, Janne Larsen et al.CHAPTERSymbols and Artifacts2017

    This chapter presents the kind of visual artifacts, namely the human gestures. The communicative content of the artifacts may be instrumental and relate to work activities. Moreover, the communicative content of the artifacts may be expressive and relate to feelings and emotional needs of individuals in the organization "perhaps by removing uncertainty or providing an object to identify with". The artifacts of tradition may be seen as physical ma…

  • The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Identity

    Michael G Pratt, Majken Schultz et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of Organizational…2016

    What happens when you take one of the most fundamental concepts in social science and apply it to one of the most ubiquitous forms of human collectives? This handbook strives to answer this question by exploring what has become a “root construct” in the field of management and organization studies: organizational identity (OI). The handbook provides a road-map to the OI field, both theoretically and methodologically, across seven sections: 1) Map…

    Some thoughts about the uses and misuses of the concept of culture

  • A Temporal Perspective on Organizational Identity

    Majken Schultz, Tor HernèsARTICLEOrganization Science2013

    We offer as our main theoretical contribution a conceptual framework for how the past is evoked in present identity reconstruction and the ways in which the past influences the articulation of claims for future identity. We introduce the notion of textual, material, and oral memory forms as the means by which organizational actors evoke the past. The conceptual framework is applied in a study of two occasions of identity reconstruction in the LEG…

  • Corporate social responsibility communication

    Open AccessMette Morsing, Majken SchultzARTICLEBusiness Ethics A European Review2006

    While it is generally agreed that companies need to manage their relationships with their stakeholders, the way in which they choose to do so varies considerably. In this paper, it is argued that when companies want to communicate with stakeholders about their CSR initiatives, they need to involve those stakeholders in a two‐way communication process, defined as an ongoing iterative sense‐giving and sense‐making process. The paper also argues tha…

  • Responding to Organizational Identity Threats

    Davide Ravasi, Majken SchultzARTICLEAcademy of Management Journal2006

    In this paper, we present a longitudinal study of organizational responses to environmental changes that induce members to question aspects of their organization's identity. Our findings highlight the role of organizational culture as a source of cues supporting “sensemaking” action carried out by leaders as they reevaluate their conceptualization of their organization, and as a platform for “sensegiving” actions aimed at affecting internal perce…

  • The dynamics of organizational identity

    Open AccessMary Jo Hatch, Majken SchultzARTICLEHuman Relations2002

    While many organizational researchers make reference to Mead's theory of social identity, none have explored how Mead's ideas about the relationship between the "I" and the "me" might be extended to identity processes at the organizational level of analysis. In this paper we define organizational analogues for Mead's "I" and "me" and explain how these two phases of organizational identity are related. In doing so we bring together existing theory…

  • Soft cultures

    Kristian Kreiner, Majken SchultzARTICLEStudies in Cultures Organizations…1995

    It is not always true that the concept of culture implies a convergence on one meaning, one set of values, one pattern of behaviour. This paper develops the notion of soft culture. Cultures are soft in the sense that multiple renderings of reality are accepted and legitimized. Soft culture is studied in the context of cross-national technology development projects. Such projects are loosely structured communities, as organizational actors are sep…

  • On Studying Organizational Cultures

    Majken SchultzBOOKOn Studying Organizational Cultures1995

  • Postmodem Pictures of Culture

    Majken SchultzARTICLEInternational Studies of…1992

    This article challenges the modern concept of corporate culture by using ideas from the postmodern critique of modernism. Postmodernism is treated as a source of critical inspiration when creating contrasting images to the modern assumptions of cultural depth, unity, and consistency. Opposed to modernism, postmodernism has focused on superficial multiplicity, difference, and discontinuity in which the notion of verified truth has lost its meaning…
