This book features some of the most informative and provocative
articles to appear in the Crossroads section of Organizational
Science. Crossroads is devoted to the publication of papers
intended to stimulate conversations across different disciplines,
perspectives, and orientations. Written by outstanding scholars,
the themes of the book cover a wide range of issues at the heart of
the study of organizations. These include debates over the role of
economics in strategic management research and the now classic
exchanges between Jeff Pfeffer and John Van Maanen over the
direction of organizational science studies; discourses that
describe, analyze and critique ways to present and understand
organizations, including a re-appraisal of Gibson Burrell and
Gareth Morgan's seminal work on sociological paradigms of
organizational analysis and views on (organizational) culture
expressed by several leading writers on the topic: It includes
dialogues on some quite radical or unusual "takes" on
organizational life: the role of the tempered radical or unusual
"takes" on organizational life: the role of the tempered radical,
working inside the organization for fundamental change; the
dilemmas facing individuals publishing qualitative research in main
stream journals; the implications of adopting a spiritual lens to
the study of organizations; and a discussion of ways we might
better bridge the gap between academic thinking and business
practice.
The articles reveal the authors' depth of knowledge and passion
for their subject. They are an ideal source of information and
insight, for both new and mature scholars. These debates can serve
as an excellent basis to spark enlightened and
enjoyableconversations in research seminars and are very useful for
informal study.
