Beskrivning
The origins of organizing are conventionally seen as emerging from the historiographical works of Western social scientists in the early 20th century. Here, the authors address a gap in current literature by exploring previously unrecognized or marginalized global origins in both modern and ancient history. This innovative collection of original, research-based work covers a variety of historical epochs and theoretical streams from ancient civilizations to modern movements in philosophy and the social sciences. Among other topics, the chapters evaluate ideas of organizing by Quakers, 16th-century Jesuits and communities in the Roman Empire and ancient China. The authors creatively and insightfully engage with the historiography and philosophy of organizing, presenting alternatives to the dominant Western-focused development of organizational theory and practice. Origins of Organizing is significant in expanding the field of organizational theory to incorporate key examples that move away from mainstream and traditional perspectives. It will serve as a complementary text for graduate students in the fields of organization theory, management history and critical management studies.Contributors include: J. Bento da Silva, C.

Recensioner i media

'We need to reflect upon the historical origins of organizing that extend far further than people usually think. This reflection must be critical and open to alternative histories and explanations. Origins of Organizing does just that. This book offers fascinating insights not only for those interested in organization and management history or critically oriented management and organizational studies, but for anyone engaged with organization theory or management practice, seeking for a deeper understanding of what organizing is all about. This is because the book is compiled and written in a reflexive manner that does not offer one truth but a number of perspectives that help to enrich our understanding of organizing and its various origins.'--Eero Vaara, Aalto University School of Business, Finland'Origins of Organizing is a major contribution to the ''historic turn'' in organization theory. For those wishing to explore this fascinating aspect of organizational analysis I can think of no better source. Simply an outstanding collection of essays by some of the world's foremost thinkers in the field. Highly recommended.' --John Hassard, University of Manchester, UK
