When it comes to the field of organization and management theory, a
philosophical perspective enables us to conduct organizational
research imbued with the attitude of 'wonder'; it helps researchers
question dominant images of thought underlying mainstream thinking,
and provides fresh distinctions that enable the development of new
theory. In bringing together a collection of key essays by
Haridimos Tsoukas, this volume explores fundamental concepts, such
as organizational routine, that have gained currency in the field,
as well as revisiting traditional concepts such as change,
strategy, and organization. It discusses organizational knowledge,
judgment, and reflection-in-action, and, at the meta-theoretical
level, suggests complex forms of theorizing that do justice to the
complexity of organizations. The conceptual attention throughout is
on process and practice, underlain by performative phenomenology
and an emphasis on agents' lived experience. This provides us with
the language to appreciate the dynamic character of organizational
behaviour, the embeddedness of action, and the complexity of
organizational life. The theoretical claims presented in this
volume have important implications for practice, insofar as they
help retrain our attention; from seeing structures and individuals,
we can now appreciate processes, experiences, and practices. A
phenomenological attitude makes organization theory more open, more
creative, and more reflexive, and this book will be essential
reading for researchers and students in the field of organization
studies.
