Noise, Parasites and Translation
探讨管理咨询的寄生角色，通过引入“噪音”打断组织秩序与混沌之间的空间，从而改变而非完善实践，对质疑传统咨询价值的研究者有用。
Conventional representations of consulting stress the need to predict possible organizational realities associated with improved economic performance. It is conceptualized as a useful tool from which practice might profit if applied properly. In this article we explore theory as a means by which practice may not so much be honed by wellcrafted advice as interrupted and transformed. Further, we propose a parasitical role for the management consultant as a source of ‘noise’ that disrupts established ways of doing and being by introducing interruptive action into the space between organizational order and chaos. What consulting can do is open up these spaces and create concepts that encourage new possible realities and real possibilities. The relation posited between organization theory and practice has the potential to create new forms of situated organization/organizing through disrupting established practice rather than by creating order. Consultants willing to take the risk of working in the productive space between organization and disorganization have a potential that questions the usual auspices of the enterprise.
