The Machinations of Change: BEEPEEARR,Debunking and the ‘In-Between’
用拉图尔的理论分析商业流程再造（BPR）的制造与消费过程，指出其局限及简单批判的不足，提出五种理解变革的新方式，适合关注管理知识生产与实践的学者。
This article examines recent developments in management knowledge in an attempt to rethink the everyday strategies, practices and processes that make change in organizations. Focusing on business process re-engineering (BPR), it offers a critical analysis of the production and consumption of management knowledge which seeks an engagement with the experiences of practitioners. Employing a Latourian account of the making of ideas and of the ‘hybrids’ of nature and culture, the article explores the limitations of both BPR and those critiques that would debunk it as so much faddish nonsense. The article concludes by suggesting five ways in which this Latourian account of the making of change alters our appreciation of the ways and means of guru theorizing in general and the modus operandi of BPR in particular.
