STS in Management Education: Connecting Theory and Practice
基于对管理本科生决策课程的民族志研究，探讨科学技术研究（STS）如何通过教学方法和内容提升管理教育，提出三种STS贡献及其在批判管理教育中的关键作用。
This paper explores the value of science and technology studies (STS) to management education. The work draws on an ethnographic study of second year management undergraduates studying decision making. The nature and delivery of the decision making module is outlined and the value of STS is demonstrated in terms of both teaching method and module content. Three particular STS contributions are identified and described: the social construction of technological systems; actor network theory and ontological politics. Affordances and sensibilities are identified for each contribution and a discussion is developed that illustrates how these versions of STS are put to use in management education. It is concluded that STS has a pivotal role to play in critical management education and in the process offers opportunities for new forms of managing.
