摘要：A poststructuralist feminist reading of Herbert Simon's construct, bounded rationality. is presented in this article. Following from this notion. it is maintained that even though bounded rationality provides a modified critique of pure rationality, this concept is grounded in male-centered assumptions that exclude alternative modes of organizing. Through a feminist deconstructive process. bounded emotionality is introduced as an alternative organizing construct. The premises. conditions of or...

摘要：Past research has resulted in contradictory findings concerning the effect of risk on decision-making behavior in organizations. This article proposes a model that reconciles these unresolved contradictions by examining the usefulness of placing risk propensity and risk perception in a more central role than has been previously recognized. Based on this analysis, it is posited that risk propensity dominates both the actual and perceived characteristics of the situation as a determinant of risk...

摘要：Drawing on rhetorical theory and structuration, this article proposes genres of organizational communication as a concept useful for studying communication as embedded in social process rather than as the result of isolated rational actions. Genres (e.g., the memo, the proposal, and the meeting) are typified communicative actions characterized by similar substance and form and taken in response to recurrent situations. These genres evolve over time in reciprocal interaction between institution...

摘要：This article draws on the work of the French philosopher, Michel Foucault, in order to problematize conventional approaches to the study of management and organizations that have been thought of as informed by a positive epistemology. Such a methodology encourages researchers to produce positive knowledge in the form of representations of what they consider to be the real world of management. This involves a concentration on what may be seen as the outcome of human activity in the form of seco...

摘要：A growing proportion of corporate restructuring is in the form of leveraged management buyouts (LBOs), but this activity is controversial, and critics have said that it involves ethical problems and redistributional issues. This article uses the existing theoretical and empirical literature to suggest research questions about why LBOs occur and what will be their likely consequences.

摘要：This article analyzes how race has been studied in organization scholarship and demonstrates how our approaches to the study of race reflect and reify particular historical and social meanings of race. It is argued that the production of knowledge about race must be understood within a racial ideology embedded in a Eurocentric view of the world. Finally, a re-vision of the very concept of race and its historical and political meaning is suggested for rewriting race as a necessary and productiv...

摘要：Many major theories of organizational stress (OS) reflect basic principles of cybernetics, most notably the negative feedback loop. However, these principles are rarely examined in empirical OS research, which focuses predominantly on simple bivariate relationships embedded in OS theories. This problem may reflect an implicit rejection of cybernetic principles on conceptual grounds, the absence of specific propositions regarding these principles, methodological difficulties, or some combinatio...
