    Notes: Using empirical evidence, this article identifies those personnel/HRM practitioners who are convinced of HRM’s existence (‘believers‘), those who are convinced of its non-existence (‘atheists‘) and those who are unsure (‘agnostics‘). It also reveals a significant and positive relationship between membership of the Institute of Personnel and Development and practitioner belief in HRM.

    A Dialogic Analysis of Organizational Learning (2000)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd.
    Journal of management studies 37 (2000), S. 0

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Dialogue is often seen as the process through which the gap between individual and organizational learning is bridged. Here we demonstrate how the enactment of a discursive epistemology – a process which involves the social construction of a dramatized narrative – can be used to generate insights into organizational learning. Using extracts taken from the transcripts of 90 hours of tape-recorded dialogue, we illustrate how a small group of organizational stakeholders construct, deconstruct and re-construct meaning in relation to a critical organizational event (i.e. a learning opportunity)through a generative dialogical process. As a result of this analysis the dominant conceptualization of the role of dialogue in organizational learning – exemplified in Peter Senge’s work – is challenged. Here Senge’s output-driven, univocal account is rejected in favour of a polyphonic perspective which enables a deeper, richer and less constrained understanding of organizational learning to be developed.

    Looking forwards: discursive directions in organizational change (2005)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Journal of organizational change management 18 (2005), S. 383-390 
    Details
    ISSN: 0953-4814
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - This paper aims to review the discursive formation of organizational change and to consider the possible directions that change management initiatives may take in the future. Design/methodology/approach - This closing piece identifies a traditional change discourse and an emerging change discourse. This is achieved through a review of the extant literature and the contributions to the special issue. Findings - The paper highlights a shift of emphases in organizational change due to environmental imperatives. In particular, it reveals a move from problem-centred, discrete interventions to a focus on continuous improvements. It also draws attention to the emerging significance of discourse-based approaches concerned with image, identity, organizational learning and knowledge management. Originality/value - Provides a framework for classifying different forms of organizational change activity and posits directions for future development.

    Images of an organisation: the use of metaphor in a multinational company (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Journal of organizational change management 12 (1999), S. 501-523 
    Details
    ISSN: 0953-4814
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article presents the results of a metaphor-based investigation of managers, supervisors and team leaders drawn from the UK subsidiaries of a large US multinational. Participants were asked two main questions, namely: if you were asked to compare your organisation to an animal - what animal would it be? and If the organisation was part of a car - what part of a car would it be? The selection of animals equates to aspects of organisational change. Images of heavy and slow moving animals exemplified low levels of change activity while lean, fast moving, and often predatory animals portray an adaptive organisation responding to a turbulent environment. The car part descriptions were largely concerned with aspects of corporate strategy and primarily conveyed the characteristics "movement" and "direction". The article discusses these insights in relation to the case study organisation. It also considers the role, status and utility of metaphor in the study of organisations.

    Guest editorial: discourse and organizational change (2005)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Journal of organizational change management 18 (2005), S. 6-15 
    Details
    ISSN: 0953-4814
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - This paper aims to examine the contribution that discourse analysis can make to understanding organizational change. Design/methodology/approach - It identifies five key contributions. Discourse analytic approaches: reveal the important role of discourse in the social construction of organizational change; demonstrate how the meaning attached to organizational change initiatives comes about as a result of a discursive process of negotiation among key actors; show that the discourses of change should be regarded as intertextual; provide a valuable multi-disciplinary perspective on change; and exhibit a capacity, to generate fresh insights into a wide variety of organizational change related issues. Findings - To illustrate these contributions the paper examines the five empirical studies included in this special issue. It discusses the potential for future discursive studies of organizational change phenomena and the implications of this for the field of organizational change more generally. Originality/value - Provides an introduction to the special issue on discourse and organizational change.
