by Ken P Starkey, Alan McKinlay
Foucault, Management and Organization Theory - From Panopticon to Technologies of Self
Foucault, Management and Organization Theory - From Panopticon to Technologies of Self

Modern organizational analysis through a Foucauldian lens.

If the intricacies of organizational dynamics intrigue you, this book might just be your next great discovery. Diving into Foucault's ideas, it offers a fresh perspective on the modern organization—perfect for shaking up traditional management theory with questions about power and control that feel very relevant today. It's not just theory; it's a lens that could change how you view your own role in any organization.

Description

This volume draws together critical assessments of Michel Foucault's contribution to our understanding of the making and remaking of the modern organization. The volume provides a valuable summary of Foucault's contribution to organization theory, which also challenges the conventions of traditional organizational analysis. By applying Foucauldian concepts such as discipline, surveillance, and power/knowledge, the authors shed new light on the genesis of the modern organization and raise fresh questions about organization theory. The bureaucratic career is, for example, analyzed as a disciplinary device, a mechanism that seeks to alter rational choice rather than constrain bodies. This raises questions about Foucault's link.
