The Politics of Translation: How State-Level Political Relations Affect the Cross-National Travel of Management Ideas
结合新制度主义和翻译理论，以科学管理和人际关系两个管理模型在以色列的传播为例，分析国家层面的政治权力结构如何参与管理思想的翻译、谈判和制度化过程。
The paper brings together insights from the neo-institutional approach and that of ‘translation’ to analyse the politics of management glocalization. Based on the cases of the translation of two management models—Scientific Management (SM) and Human Relations (HR) in Israel—the paper argues that the state-level institutional power structures that participated in the importing of the SM and HR models as an answer to their political needs also took part in the negotiations and struggles that formed their social meanings, the way in which they changed during the move from one context to another, the way in which they are justified in the new social context, and the fundamental social assumptions that become institutionalized as part of the process of the models’ institutionalization.
