Reassembling Weber to reveal the-past-as-history in management and organization studies
探讨过去与历史的本体论差异,提出一种认识论怀疑的、关系性的批判组织历史方法,并通过分析韦伯在管理学中的“职业生涯”来论证。
The purpose of this article is to unravel the link between the past and history to reveal the importance and the problems of developing a historically informed critical management studies (Booth and Rowlinson, 2006; Kieser, 1994). Drawing on Munslow (2010), we focus on the relationship between ‘the past’ and ‘history’ as ‘ontologically dissonant’ (p. 3) to argue for an ‘epistemically skeptical,’ relational approach to critical organizational history. These arguments are explored through analysis of the ‘career’ of Max Weber in management and organization studies (MOS).
