This authoritative book explores the nexus between organization
theory, globalization and imperialism and examines the effects of a
global order organized around development and markets. The authors
explore how interconnections between organization theory and the
global political economy have led to the perpetuation of inequality
and active reconfigurations of life, labour and the economy. They
contend that cultural ethnocentrism and Western ideologies of
development continue to inform the field of organizational studies
and offer an alternate mode of theorizing. Through theoretical and
empirical reflections, the authors produce a patchwork quilt of
innovatively critical approaches to globalization. Graduate
students, academics and scholars in the fields of management and
organizational sciences, as well as postcolonial, development and
globalization studies will find this book of particular interest.
It is also an invaluable read for international management and
strategy scholars, including those focused on multinational
operations in the Third World.
Drawing on recent deconstructions in anthropology, postcolonial
studies, and critical sociology, Malaysia and the Development
Process situates and explores the phenomenon of international
knowledge transfers within the context of globalization. Based on
primary and secondary research, and a series of 'experiential'
reflections, fieldwork was conducted in two foreign electronics
multinationals and a variety of public and semi-public
institutions. The findings reassess issues of knowledge, power,
subjectivity and agency, and the relations between the West and the
non-West, as they are negotiated between and within multinational
workplaces and local agencies in Malaysia.
