Facing the facts of the Gaza genocide: Refusing complicity, organizing solidarity
As a collective, Organization has a strong commitment to exposing and challenging domination and oppression, to amplifying scholarly activism, and to standing in solidarity with the oppressed, the dispossessed, and the Indigenous peoples of the world. Therefore, we cannot remain silent observers of the genocide in Gaza, of the oppression of the Palestinian people, and of the political, academic and organizational systems that are complicit in it.…
Theorizing necroptics: Invisibilization of violence and death-worlds
This paper examines the invisibilization of violence and deaths in India’s leading daily during the 1918 influenza pandemic, the Times of India. The pandemic killed more than 14 million Indians in a short span of time. Studying this historical event and the way it was reported in an influential newspaper, this research shows how media representations not only invisibilized the alarming levels of mortality, but also elided the efforts of colonial …
Locating the Global South in Organization
This essay tracks how the ‘Global South’ has been represented in Organization’s pages over the past three decades. I argue that although the term remains problematic, discussion of the Global South can and should act as a spur for greater critical attention to the boundaries and content of Management and Organisational Studies
Epistemic and performative quests for authentic management in India
The project of identifying voices from the South, and transforming the discipline of organization studies through such engagement, raises important questions of how to assess and categorize disciplinary knowledge adequately for such a purpose. This article discusses two quests for authenticity in the context of Indian management studies, based in claims of epistemic relevance and performative efficacy. In both instances there appears a conscious …
The possibilities of the past: Two routes to a past and what they tell us about professional power
Walter Benjamin's 1940 essay ‘Theses on the Philosophy of History’ offers a basis for assessing the current engagement with history within the field of organizational studies. In this paper I argue that the past remains under-theorized within such engagement, including in two well-known historical projects in organization studies: institutional studies of knowledge formation and postcolonial studies of organizations. Benjamin's essay helps us rec…
Deepening, broadening and re-asserting a postcolonial interrogative space in organization studies
A postcolonial interrogative space has finally, and we believe belatedly, emerged in management and organization studies (MOS). Since the term `postcolonial began to appear in the literature around the mid-1990s, there has been growing interest and some significant contributions that have conceptualized and empirically investigated the nexus of the postcolonial and organization. However, this seeming flourish should not be overstated; it is still…

Design/methodology/approach Management, international management, and non‐profit management studies are reviewed and assessed through a lateral reading. Findings The field of management studies and the sub‐field of international managem…

Cultivating Indian management: Institutions, subjectivity, and the nature of knowledge
Managers as Androids: Reading Moral Agency in Philip Dick
Philip Dick's science fiction (SF) offers a stimulating critique of modernity. One of his important themes was the gradual replacement of the empathy of humans with the cold logic of machines. Using Arendt (1964), Bauman (1991) and Tester (1997), I argue that managers are prone to moral indifference. This tendency was termed androidization by Dick, the transformation of human beings into machines. Through two novels and a film adaptation, I discu…
