Produktbeschreibung

The birth of critical management studies (CMS) followed a period of strict orthodoxy in management thinking, with CMS challenging the established order. However, the explosive growth in new management ideas over time has meant that CMS itself has sometimes struggled to keep up. The Routledge Companion to Critical Management Studies captures today's revived spirit and thinking within CMS, and showcases the pluralistic generation of CMS scholars that has emerged in recent years.

Rezensionen

'This is an utterly unique and compelling project. Unlike every other handbook on critical organizational studies that seeks to institutionalize and consequently reify disciplinary knowledge, the editors have successfully realised a project that significantly challenges, revises, pluralizes and expands the terrain of critical management studies. Their highly effective canonical intervention proceeds by centralizing issues hitherto considered relatively peripheral to CMS, including postcoloniality, feminism, indigeneity, masculinity and sexuality, and the contributors to the six sections of the handbook take on these issues in multiple and creative ways.' - Shiv Ganesh, Professor of Communication, Massey University, New Zealand

'This Companion provides an unflinching and provocative critique of the 'First World CMS Industry', making for sometimes uncomfortable but always important, lucid and stimulating reading. It is a book which anyone interested in CMS needs to read.' - Jo Brewis, Professor of Organization and Consumption, University of Leicester, UK

'An important and comprehensive volume that expands the contributions of CMS scholarship to management and organization studies. This will be required reading for any scholar interested in the major debates of CMS and management studies more broadly.' - Dennis K. Mumby, Cary C. Boshamer Distinguished Professor of Communication, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

'With Critical Management Studies now been firmly established in the field of management studies the struggle against intra-disciplinary ossification and dogmatism should begin. This book offers an excellent choice of themes and author constellations, and it addresses a diverse range of topics previously subject to only modest scholarly attention. This volume thus paves the way for the next generation of students and researchers anxious to explore the wider consequences of managerial ideologies and practices.' - Alexander Styhre, Chair of Organization & Management, School of Business, Economics, and Law, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
