The Handbook of Feminist Research Methodologies in Management and
Organization Studies focuses on the interlinkages between feminist
theories, methodologies and research methods. This ground-breaking
Handbook analyses classic feminist theoretical texts and their
methodological implications, as well as topical approaches to
management and organization studies, including postcolonial
feminism, critical race theory and new feminist materialisms. The
book discusses what kind of methodological and methods related
concerns different theoretical approaches call forth and highlights
them through empirical examples. Featuring contributions from
leading scholars in the field of management and organization
studies, the book examines knowledge production through different
theoretical perspectives, including standpoint feminism, feminist
post-structuralism, postcolonial feminism, and queer analysis.
Providing a critical and analytical lens through which to view
traditional research practices, it offers insight into how to
tackle ethical and practical issues related to feminist research.
This book is a vital resource for graduate and post-graduate
students in management and organization as well as gender and
management. It also provides feminist scholars a comprehensive
overview of the contemporary debates in the field. The book is a
key resource for any student and scholar engaged in qualitative
methodologies and research methods in management, and organization
studies and social sciences in general.
This book brings together analyses from across the social sciences
to develop an interdisciplinary approach to understanding
spiritualities and neoliberalism. It traces the lived experience of
social actors as they engage with new and alternative
spiritualities in neoliberal contexts. An international group of
authors in anthropology, sociology, religious studies, political
science, critical management studies explore the contemporary
flourishing of subjectivities centred on a variety of spiritual
practices and imaginaries. The book analyses the social and
organisational mechanisms that underlie the generation of
'enterprising' and 'competitive' subjectivities engaged in
transforming inner selves and social environments in accordance
with prevailing neoliberal economic rationalities. Contributions
draw on a wide range of empirical settings around the world to
discuss the role of subjectivities in organizations. The purpose of
the book is to provide specific insights into how neoliberalism is
resisted, contested or reproduced through a transformative ethic of
spiritual self-realization. Researchers, academics and Masters
level students in a range of social science disciplines, including
anthropology, sociology, human geography, and organization studies
will find this book relevant reading. Contributors include: I.
Abraham, E. Bell, L. Cortois, S. Gog, A.-R. Kaupinnen, J.D.

This book explores the meaning and practice of empowering
methodologies in organisational and social research. In a context
of global academic precarity, this volume explores why empowering
research is urgently needed. It discusses the situatedness of
knowing and knowledge in the context of core-periphery relations
between the global North and South. The book considers the sensory,
affective, embodied practice of empowering research, which involves
listening, seeing, moving and feeling, to facilitate a more
diverse, creative and crafty repertoire of research possibilities.
The essays in this volume examine crucial themes including: * How
to decolonise management knowledge * Using imaginative, visual and
sensory methods * Memory and space in empowering research *
Empowerment and feminist methodologies * The role of reflexivity in
empowering research By bringing postcolonial perspectives from
India, the volume aims to revitalise management and organisation
studies for global readers. This book will be useful for scholars
and researchers of management studies, organisational behaviour,
research methodology, development studies, social sciences in
general and gender studies and sociology.
This edited book focuses on the organization and meaning of craft
work in contemporary society. It considers the relationship between
craft and place and how this enables the construction of a
meaningful relationship with objects of production and consumption.
The book explores the significance of raw materials, the
relationship between the body, the crafted object and the mind, and
the importance of skill, knowledge and learning in the making
process. Through this, it raises important questions about the role
of craft in facing future challenges by challenging the logic of
globalized production and consumption. The Organization of Craft
Work encompasses international analyses from the United States,
France, Italy, Australia, Canada, the UK and Japan involving a
diverse range of sectors, including brewing, food and wine
production, clothing and shoe making, and perfumery. The book will
be of interest to students and academic researchers in organization
studies, marketing and consumer behaviour, business ethics,
entrepreneurship, sociology of work, human resource management,
cultural studies, geography, and fashion and design. In addition,
the book will be of interest to practitioners and organizations
with an interest in the development and promotion of craft work.
The visual constitutes an increasingly significant element of
contemporary organization, as post-industrial societies move
towards economies founded on creative and knowledge-intensive
industries. The visual has thereby entered into almost every aspect
of corporate strategy, operations, and communication; reconfiguring
basic notions of management practice and introducing new challenges
in the study of organizations. This volume provides a comprehensive
insight into the ways in which organizations and their members
visualize their identities and practices and how they are viewed by
those who are external to organizations, including researchers.
With contributions from leading academics across the world, The
Routledge Companion to Visual Organization is a valuable reference
source for students and academics interested in disciplines such as
film studies, entrepreneurship, marketing, sociology and most
importantly, organizational behaviour.

The gold standard textbook in business research - trusted, comprehensive, supportive.
Highly comprehensive and exceptionally well-written, this book provides a complete and clear guide to the process of conducting business research. The only business research book to use interviews with real students to provide invaluable insights and advice on potential pitfalls to avoid, and successful strategies to emulate, when undertaking a research project.
Examples from various business functions including marketing, strategy, and human resource management clearly show the relevance of business research to the real world.
Emma Bell and Richard Thorpe are engaging companions for this
journey into the complex world of management research. They provide
a stimulating and critical overview of the key theoretical debates
on research paradigms and methodologies and relate them to the day
to day practice of the research, demystifying the process and
providing invaluable insights into the politics and practice of
research.
Unlike most books about management research, this little book
does not present the process as logical, rational and predictable.
Instead, it explores the messy and unpredictable nature of
management research and the fascinating reasons behind this. In
doing so, it will give you the confidence and understanding to
experiment and improvise while carrying out your research.
Incorporating research tales from within the workplace, Bell and
Thorpe have triumphed in bringing you a fun and thought-provoking
discourse on management research that you will treasure. An
electronic inspection copy is available for instructors.

The seventeen narratives of The Common Lot and Other Stories,
published in popular magazines across the United States between
1908 and 1921 and collected here for the first time, are driven by
Emma Bell Miles’s singular vision of the mountain people of her
home in southeastern Tennessee. That vision is shaped by her strong
sense of social justice, her naturalist’s sensibility, and her
insider’s perspective. Women are at the center of these stories,
and Miles deftly works a feminist sensibility beneath the plot of
the title tale about a girl caught between present drudgery in her
father’s house and prospective drudgery as a young wife in her
own. Wry, fiery, and suffused with details of both natural and
social worlds, the pieces collected here provide a particularly
acute portrayal of Appalachia in the early twentieth century.
Miles’s fiction brings us a world a century in the past, but one
that will easily engage twenty-first-century readers. The
introduction by editor and noted Miles expert Grace Toney Edwards
places Miles in the literary context of her time. Edwards
highlights Miles’s quest for women’s liberation from
patriarchal domination and oppressive poverty, forces against which
Miles herself struggled in making a name for herself as a writer
and artist. Illustrations by the author and Miles family
photographs complement the stories.
