Foucault, Management and Organization Theory
From Panopticon to Technologies of Self
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
