Goldman, Geoff, author. Critical management studies in South Africa : Directions and contexts / Geoff Goldman. Critical management studies in South Africa Cape Town, South Africa : AOSIS, 2021. ©2021 1 online resource (212 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Acta Commercii Description based on: online resource; title from PDF information screen (mdpi.com, viewed February 17, 2023). This book shows how Critical Management Studies (CMS) scholarship is starting to develop a character of its own in South Africa. It attests to CMS slowly gaining momentum and acquiring an identity of its own amongst South African scholars. However, management studies in South Africa is dominated by capitalist ideology and positivist methodology. Although Interpretive scholarship has gained some momentum, it still falls within the parameters of 'mainstream' capitalist thinking. Scholarship outside the domain of capitalist thinking, such as critical scholarship, remains sorely underexplored. Being entrenched in the positivist tradition is arguably a major Achilles' Heel for the progression of management as a field of inquiry. CMS presents a vehicle for alternative epistemologies to be heard in the management discourse. With its focus on power imbalances, struggles for emancipation from oppression, and distrust of capitalism, CMS provides the peripheral point of view with a voice. CMS presents a space where scholars can engage with South African realities surrounding political, cultural, social, and historical contexts and issues in management. This book is promoting CMS to the scholarly community to show that there are exciting possibilities being offered by a different approach to management scholarship. This book also forms part of a larger project of growing CMS in South Africa and is a collection of original works by academics actively working in CMS, following various methodological approaches which can be categorised into two broad methodological categories, namely, conceptual work and empirical work following an Interpretive approach. Includes bibliographical references and index. Business planning. 1-77634-190-2 Acta Commercii. |
