Critical realism has become increasingly important in the way
organization and management is studied. This innovative book argues
for an alternative to the prevailing ontology, and shows how
positivism and its empirical realist ontology can be abandoned
without having to accept strong social constructionism.
Critical Realist Applications in Organisation and Management
Studies applies critical realism in four ways. First, in the
removal of meta-theoretical obstacles that hinder the development
of fruitful theoretical and empirical work. Second and third, as a
meta-theoretical tool with which to develop appropriate
methodological and theoretical frameworks which can then be used to
inform appropriate empirical work, and finally, all of this is
applied across a broad range of subject areas including critical
management studies, accountancy, marketing, health care management,
operations research, the nature of work, human resource management,
labour process theory, regional analysis, and work and labour
market studies.
Ideal for postgraduates and professionals, this key book will be
a valuable resource across a wide range of subjects.
