The Adventures And Challenges Of Teaching Overseas, Bonnie Garson May 2005

The Adventures And Challenges Of Teaching Overseas, Bonnie Garson

Organization Management Journal

As business professors become more immersed in global strategies, knowledge of foreign cultures and stereotypes will help further thinking and debate. This article explores the impact of culture on the process of adapting to living in a foreign country and teaching business principles in a Muslim society. Additionally, the report hopes to continue the discussion regarding the portability of American theories to foreign countries.

Spirituality: A Way To Alternate Subjectivity?, Mihaela Kelemen, Tuomo Peltonen May 2005

Spirituality: A Way To Alternate Subjectivity?, Mihaela Kelemen, Tuomo Peltonen

Organization Management Journal

This paper emphasizes the contribution of Michel Foucault and Pierre Hadot to discussions of workplace spirituality. It is argued that their understanding of spirituality differs significantly from the mainstream management contributions: they view spirituality as a distinct form of post-modern subjectivity in organizations and regard the subject as continuous flow emerging and being constructed not so much at the crossroad of institutions and macro-structures but from within, with the help of self-formation practices. We term the latter spirituality and argue, firstly, that there are strong (albeit controversial) connections between spiritual practices, the history of Christianity, and the philosophy of antiquity. …

Backwoods Brewing Company: Learning To Tolerate Ambiguity, Elizabeth Mccrea, Elizabeth A. Cooper, Kristin Backhaus

Organization Management Journal

Backwoods Brewing Company is an experiential exercise that provides a challenging, reality based business situation, requiring students to create a conclusion based on limited information.

A tolerance for ambiguity scale is administered, the debriefing of the exercise helps students develop a better understanding of their tolerance for ambiguity and teaches them some concrete tools to be used when dealing with ambiguity.

Should Critical Management Studies And Organization Development Collaborate? Invitation To A Contemplation, Maxim Voronov May 2005

Should Critical Management Studies And Organization Development Collaborate? Invitation To A Contemplation, Maxim Voronov

Organization Management Journal

In this article, the author argues that despite important differences between Critical Management Studies (CMS) and Organization Development (OD), there is enough common ground to make a dialogue worthwhile for both fields and for management practice. The author outlines some major "objectives" of each field, noting some important but frequently overlooked similarities and complementarities between them. Power and empowerment are offered as examples of focal topics around which the two disciplines could have a productive discussion, suggesting that such an exchange would help CMS’ important insights about power to have more of an impact on organizational practice while enhancing OD's …

Success To The Successful: The Use Of Systems Thinking Tools In Teaching Ob, E. Anne Bardoel, Tim Haslett Sep 2004

Success To The Successful: The Use Of Systems Thinking Tools In Teaching Ob, E. Anne Bardoel, Tim Haslett

Organization Management Journal

This paper discusses the use of an experiential pedagogy based on two systems thinking tools that can be incorporated in the teaching of organizational behavior (OB) concepts and case studies. It is contended that combining causal loop diagramming techniques and the application of Senge’s archetypes provides useful tools in assisting students to understand interdependencies, difficulties of implementation, impacts of assumptions, and provide further insights into OB concepts. This paper demonstrates the insights that thesecsystems thinking tools can provide by using the “Success to the successful" archetype as an example.

Complexity Theory As A Practical Management Tool: A Critical Evaluation, Aaron C.T. Smith Sep 2004

Complexity Theory As A Practical Management Tool: A Critical Evaluation, Aaron C.T. Smith

Organization Management Journal

Complexity theory is receiving increasing attention in both academic and popular literature as a potential management tool. As momentum gathers surrounding its popularity in practical management, complexity theory is poised to become a management ‘fad’, and potentially an influential paradigm for the future. However, much of the literature concerning complexity theory contains inconsistent terminology and a lack of operationally empirical definitions. This has made it difficult for researchers to specify empirical questions in order to frame complexity research, and for practitioners to acquire the key principles for implementation. It has also opened a Pandora’s Box of commentaries which proclaim that …
