Rethinking Organizational Change: The Role of Dialogue, Dialectic
& Polyphony in the Organization makes an important scholarly
contribution to our understanding of dialogue applied to the
management of change. Muayyad Jabri offers an involved assessment
of the differences between 'dialogue' and 'dialectic' and an
intriguing invitation to rely on both for managing creative
interventions into the change process. The book provides a surplus
of new insights that will help to promote scholarly work in the
area of managing change and to develop a more creative practice
associated with the processes of managing change. The call for
polyphony facilitates a crossover from sameness to diversity and
from univocal to multivocal representations. In reading patterns of
managing change, whether from within or across organizational
borders, it is found that a vital part of the reading is, at
present, 'unreadable' because we lack involved knowledge of how
diversity and polyphony are interrelated. This book seeks to change
this; based on a rendition of Mikhail Bakhtin's anthropological
concept of polyphony applied to organizational change. The reader
is treated to a cutting-edge discussion of a variety of
contemporary ontological and epistemological themes centered on
process, dialectic, dialogue and social construction.
