In this Element, we examine how organizational researchers have
published articles contributing to organization theory in high
quality organizational journals, and we examine how healthcare
researchers have drawn on organization theory in healthcare
management journals. We have two main aims in writing this Element.
The first is to motivate scholars working in the field of general
organizational and management studies to increasingly use
healthcare settings as an empirical context for their work in
theory development. Our second aim is to encourage healthcare
researchers to increase their use of organizational theory to
advance knowledge about the provision of healthcare services. Our
investigations revealed a growing number of organizational studies
situated in healthcare. We also found a disappointing level of
connection between research published in organization journals and
research published in healthcare journals. We provide explanations
for this division, and encourage more crossdisciplinary work in the
future.
Management ideas, and their associated applications, have become a
prevalent feature of our working lives. While their focus is
familiar, such as efficiency, motivation, and improvement, they
range from specific notions such as activity-based costing, to
broad movements like corporate social responsibility. This Handbook
brings together some of the latest research from leading
international scholars on how management ideas are produced,
promoted, and adapted, and their effects on business and working
practices and society at large. Rather than focusing on specific
management ideas, this volume explores their key socio-political
contexts and channels of dissemination, and is organized around
four core overlapping themes. The first section sets out the
research field in general, in terms of both an overall system and
of different perspectives and research methods. The second section
explores the role of different actors and channels of diffusion,
including the consumers and producers of management ideas and 'new'
media, as well as traditional players in the management ideas field
such as consultancies and business schools. The third section
focuses on specific features or dynamics of the management ideas
system, such as their adoption, evolution, institutionalisation,
and resurgence, while in the final section, critical and new
perspectives on management ideas are examined, highlighting
specific socio-political contexts and the possibility of
alternative ideas and forms of critique. With a broad range of
perspectives represented, this Handbook provides a comprehensive,
authoritative, and enduring resource for those studying management,
innovation, and organizational change, as well as for those working
in the management ideas industry.
