Publisher Synopsis
As much as anyone recently, Hari Tsoukas has shown how philosophy is not just relevant to but invaluable for organizational and management theory. This insightful and timely volume features prominent essays of his from the past decade that engage philosophy in an attempt to better understand organizational phenomena. Collectively, they bear witness to the philosophical dimensions of organization and management theory while richly articulating Tsoukas' own uniqueperformative phenomenology that combines phenomenological, process theoretical, and Wittgensteinian ideas. * Theodore Schatzki, Professor of Geography, and of Philosophy and Sociology, University of Kentucky, USA * Hari Tsoukas has a unique talent for capturing complex philosophical ideas, and bringing them to bear on the challenges that practitioners and researchers face in acting in or understanding organizational settings. He does this in a highly accessible and readable way that enriches our understanding and helps us see the subtlety and value of philosophy to organization theory. It is wonderful to see Tsoukas' insightful body of work (inspired by ideas from Aristotle,Bergson, Castoriadis, Heidegger, Whitehead, Wittgenstein and many others) brought together in a single collection. * Ann Langley, Professor of Strategic Managemen t, and holder of the Canada Research Chair in Strategic Management in Pluralistic Settings, HEC Montreal, Canada * Over decades, Hari Tsoukas' publications have provided an essential philosophical underpinning to much of the current work in organization theory. I have long drawn on his clear and compelling philosophical insights to inform my own work and am delighted to see this collection of his papers brought together so that we may draw upon them as a corpus of work to further inform developments in organization theory. * Paula Jarzabkowski, Professor of Strategic Manage ment, Cass Business School, City, University of London, UK * Hari Tsoukas has emerged as one of the leading scholars of organizational process. Bringing together 16 articles published over approximately a decade, this useful collection shows the development of Tsoukas' thinking as a process scholar and introduces us to the philosophical perspectives and empirical studies that have informed that development. * Martha S. Feldman, Professor of Social Ecology, Political Science, Business and Sociology Johnson Chair for Civic Governance and Public Management, University of California, Irvine, USA * Read more...
