    Strategic exchange in the development of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) (2000)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    New technology, work and employment 15 (2000), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-005X
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: The potential of computerised human resource information systems (HRIS) is often not realised for several reasons. Taking a relational/processual rather than a systems approach, a case study of a global HRIS developement project is examined using strategic exchange to highlight important social considerations of organisational, group and individual projects.

    Beyond Managism: Negotiated Narratives and Critical Management Education in Practice (2001)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    British journal of management 12 (2001), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-8551
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: A pragmatist conception of critical management education and learning is first set out. This accepts a degree of ‘functionality’ between management study and management practice. It is, however, a non-managerialist and non-technicist functionality. The criterion for judging critical management learning cannot be how well it reveals truths in any absolute or foundationalist sense. The only possible criterion is how well, relative to alternative types of learning, it informs the practices of people involved in managerial situations (regardless of whether these are managers or not). Next, one way of applying pragmatist critical management principles is outlined. This works through negotiated narratives and stands as an alternative to orthodox management education approaches – ones to which the critical concept of scholarism is applied. The outline is then developed through an ethnographic style account of an instance of such a practice. Central to this piece of teaching and learning practice is the critical concept of managism. Managist discourse and its role in framing managerial thinking and practices is examined and debated by the management class in the process of attempting collectively to make sense of stories brought to the class by both the students and the teacher. The basic ‘story’ that the paper tells is rehearsed at the end in the form of a fairy tale. This is done as an alternative to concluding or ‘closing’ the paper. The story of critical management education and learning and what is done in its name continues to unfold.

    Managing, Crafting and Researching: Words, Skill and Imagination in Shaping Management Research (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    British journal of management 5 (1994), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-8551
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: A playful approach to words like management and managing is a valuable way of loosening the imagination of the management research craft worker. The researcher should work within a concept of craft which involves producing useful and aesthetically pleasing work which is identifiable as coming from the hand of the individual craft worker. The research should be crafted in a reflexive style which reveals the researcher's own hand in ‘shaping’ the reality which it presents. A‘what, why and how?’ model of research design can be used to prompt researchers, in shaping their project, continually to ask questions of what the key issues are that are being tackled, why the work can be justified as a contribution knowledge and how it will be carried out in terms, first, of the concepts to be used and, second, of the investigative methods to be deployed. The model is illustrated with the case of a participant observation piece of management research which was carried out in a company using observation and informal dialogues as well as formal interviews. The project examines how management can be seen as a craft in which managers simultaneously shape their work organizations and their own lives and identities.

    Theorizing Managerial Work: a Pragmatic Pluralist Approach to Interdisciplinary Research (1997)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    British journal of management 8 (1997), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-8551
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Management research is especially open to the benefits of using insights from a variety of social science disciplines but it should not use these indiscriminately. A strategy of pragmatic pluralism is proposed as a way of ensuring that concepts taken from different social science paradigms or disciplines are drawn together into a single coherent perspective to shape the particular study to which they relate. This is illustrated with reference to an ethnographic study of managerial work carried out by the author.

    HRM and Critical Social Science Analysis (2004)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
    Journal of management studies 41 (2004), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-6486
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes:   In her early work on personnel management, Karen Legge showed the way forward for a non-prescriptive and critical analysis of employment management practices. Legge has developed this concern in subsequent work and given it a wider focus by setting her analysis of HRM in its broad socio-political context. A great deal of the academic HRM literature has tended not to follow this lead, however, and often remains prescriptive, functionalist and uncritical. Even when HRM analysis does set out to be critical, it can be seen as out of touch with important developments in social science thinking. A scheme for undertaking critical social scientific analysis is developed to overcome some of these difficulties and this is applied to a narrative of HRM strategy-making in Moddens Foods.

    GROUP IDEOLOGIES AND ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE (1982)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of management studies 19 (1982), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-6486
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Recent developments in organization theory have seen an increase in the amount of attention being paid to competing interests and definitions of situations existing within organizations. Greater emphasis is being put on ‘micropolitics’ and on various non-rational aspects of behaviour. In line with these developments, the concept of ‘group ideology’ is used to analyze the ways in which various interests were articulated and mobilized around in a case of major organizational change in an engineering company. The relevance of social class factors to the process of organizational change is given particular attention.

    Strategists and Strategy-making: Strategic Exchange and the Shaping of Individual Lives and Organizational Futures (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
    Journal of management studies 40 (2003), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-6486
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: A strategic exchange framework for the analysis of the relationship between the personal strategies of strategists and the strategic direction followed by organizations is presented. The exchange relationship that strategists have with their organization and the exchange relationship between the organization and the constituencies upon which it is resource dependent is examined and some of the processes and practices that this can entail are illustrated with the case of Strath Guitars. The case study also illustrates the value of ethnographic fiction science as an innovative type of research account which is especially appropriate for the reporting of studies of the detailed interpersonal and social processes associated with organizational strategy-making.

    Human Resourcing in Practice: Managing Employment Issues in the University (1999)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    Journal of management studies 36 (1999), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-6486
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Participant observation in two universities is used to throw light on processes of sensemaking engaged in by managers concerned with human resourcing issues. Analysis of managerial sensemaking in the case study organizations is carried out using concepts from earlier sociological theorizing about human resource or personnel management, treating these theoretical ideas as resources for use in the researchers' own sensemaking. It is shown that theoretical ‘sense’ can be made of the managerial or ‘lay’ sensemaking in the universities in terms of a need to handle various tensions which are inherent in all employment management work in industrial capitalist societies. And it is argued that there is clear continuity between what is currently occurring and has occurred in the past. This interpretation is shown to differ from that of an alternative approach in social science sensemaking, that which uses the notion of a new paradigm of ‘HRM’.

    Managerial Sensemaking and Occupational Identities in Britain and Italy: The Role of Management Magazines in the Process of Discursive Construction[Address fo] (1998)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Processes of discursive construction in a British and an Italian personnel management magazine are analysed to show the ways in which the magazines, both as genre forms and providers of narratives and discursive resources, provide ‘story boards’ for their readers which are helpful to them when it comes to making sense of the tensions and dilemmas associated with their managerial roles. Tensions and occupational dilemmas generally associated with personnel management work are identified and variations found in the discursive constructions associated with the two magazines are related, with reservations, to cultural and institutional differences between British and Italian human resource management
