Living at the border of poverty’
People who have a sense of calling to their work are more inspired, motivated and engaged with what they do. But how is calling constructed and maintained within organizations? More importantly, how do people maintain a sense of calling to their work when this is a source of ongoing material and existential hardships? This article seeks to address these questions by looking at the artistic setting of theater where actors maintain their calling de…
Captains of industry? Value allocation and the partnering effect of managerial discretion
Can value allocation be left to managerial discretion and does corporate law provide the basis for a balanced stakeholder management and a fair allocation of results? This question is central in an age of inequality. We argue that it can be reappraised by building upon the case of maritime law. Whereas in corporate law, the board is in charge of allocating the results, maritime law stipulates a clear ex ante rule according to which it allows a ca…

Dynamic Capabilities
Dynamic capabilities have become a key concept in the field of strategic management, as concerns about environmental uncertainty and industry change have become prevalent. Dynamic capabilities are part of a wider debate about the value of the resource‐based view of the firm, and the centrality of knowledge and learning to strategic success. This article considers key definitions of dynamic capabilities; the origins of the term and its conceptual …
In the Death Zone
This article examines the May 1996 Everest disaster through the lens of limits and liminality to provide an alternative interpretation of the significance of the event as a counterpoint to existing accounts. The Everest disaster is an example of management under the most extreme conditions and also an example of a common managerial mindset that is prevalent in the literature on leadership and strategy that anything can be achieved by organization…
The future of the business school
Despite its importance, there is relatively little serious academic research into the business school. This article sets out to stimulate debate that will fill this gap. We review the origins and evolution of the business school and debates about management research and teaching in terms of ideals and practice. Increasingly, the role of the business school is being questioned but much of this debate looks at the business school in isolation from …
The Effects of Liminality on Individual and Organizational Learning
This article uses an examination of the changing nature of organization in the UK television industry to reflect on the impact of liminality on learning. We take as our starting point Garsten’s (1999) use of the term ‘liminality’ (being situated ‘betwixt and between’) to examine individual and organizational learning in the context of organizational recomposition, where learning increasingly occurs at the limits of organizations within networks a…
Careering alone
The relationship between career and social capital is an important but relatively unexplored research topic. In this article, we draw on the literatures on social capital and careers, and on empirical studies of the shifting nature of careers in financial services and television production firms, to argue that, in labour markets where key skills are in short supply, the concept of social capital constitutes a rich resource for understanding the i…
The Long Detour
It is possible to identify a number of phases in Michel Foucault's work, associated with an apparently shifting focus of concern. We argue that, beneath the differences that distinguish these phases, he demonstrates a lifelong engagement with a small number of core concerns. The main focus of this article is Foucault's later work. Here we identify a shift from a focus on discipline/domination to aesthetics and desire/pleasure. We show how this ap…

Beyond Networks and Hierarchies
Since the mid 1980s, organization theorists have highlighted the emergence of the networked model of organization as a response to global competition and pressures for increased market flexibility. Cultural industries have not been immune from this development. In this paper, we examine the shift from hierarchy to network in the U.K. television industry. We argue that an important result of this disaggregation is the emergence of latent organizat…

Eleven characters in search of an ethic, or the spirit of capitalism revisited
This fiction represents scenes from an imaginary MBA class's reaction to the showing of the Oliver Stone film, Wall Street, to explore different perspectives on the meanings of work and society in the light of Max Weber's pessimistic vision of the inexorable rise of capitalism. It is meant to end on an optimistic note

The Secrets of Corporate Longevity
Les AA. examinent de facon critique l'ouvrage J. C. Collins et J. I. Porras intitule «Build to last. Succesful habits of visionnary companies» publie en 1994. Dans ce cadre, Collins et Porras s'interrogent sur les causes de la longevite de certaines entreprises.

Opening up Corporate Governance
L'A. porte son attention sur la notion de gouvernance et sur celle de controle managerial. Cette derniere est concue comme la creation de systemes de controle effectif du travail et marque les limites du domaine soumis a l'autorite. Il s'efforce d'eclairer la notion de gouvernance dans le cadre de l'entreprise. Celle-ci implique un processus de prise de decision et de controle dans une organisation. Elle suppose la surveillance et l'evaluation de…
After Henry
Since 1979 the Ford Motor Co. has attempted to introduce fundamental changes in its corporate strategy, management structure and labour relations. This article focuses on the impact of corporate restructuring on the management of Ford UK. Significant changes in industrial relations and work organisation have been tempered by strong continuities with Ford's maintenance of its traditional management prerogative. The most profound changes have been …
Managing for Ford
In explaining the rationale for his classic account of working for Ford, Beynon (1973, 1984) argues that he was filling a gap in our knowledge of the experience of work. While the founders of corporate dynasties such as Henry Ford are public figures, at the time of Beynon's book we knew little of the people who do the work that makes corporations such as Ford public names. Beynon set out to remedy this deficiency. This paper sets out to fill a ga…

Competitive Strategies and Organizational Change
The debates about organizational responses to economic crisis have focussed on the need for strategic and structural realignment. Work organization is rarely considered as an integral element of competitive strategy. Current shifts in the contours of previously stable mass markets and product and process innovation demand equally profound organizational change to maintain competitiveness. In this context maintaining or regaining competitive advan…

The Japanisation of Xerox
The impact of Japanese competition has led to attempts by Western organisations to implement elements of Japanese management. The process has been described as‘Japanisation’. Here the authors examine the Japanisation of Rank Xerox and Xerox Corporation. Xerox has benefitted from the learning experience of its Japanese joint venture, Fuji Xerox, and has been described as the most‘Japanised’of Western companies
