Constructing Identity in and around Organizations de Majken Schultz

Constructing Identity in and around Organizations: Perspectives on Process Organization Studies

Editat de Majken Schultz, Steve Maguire, Ann Langley, Haridimos Tsoukas
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 ian 2012

Pornind de la experiența vastă a editorului Majken Schultz în cadrul Copenhagen Business School și ca partener la Reputation Institute, volumul de față propune o schimbare de paradigmă în analiza structurilor corporative. Reținem că această lucrare nu se mulțumește să descrie organizațiile prin prisma ierarhiilor statice, ci le investighează ca fluxuri neîncetate de activitate. Notăm cu interes modul în care autorii redefinesc identitatea nu ca pe un „bun” posedat de o companie, ci ca pe un proces activ de negociere, afirmare și, uneori, perturbare.

Abordarea diferă de cea din Process, Sensemaking, and Organizing prin concentrarea specifică pe mecanismele de formare a sinelui în context profesional — este mai puțin abstractă și mult mai aplicabilă în înțelegerea modului în care angajații și liderii își construiesc rolurile prin interacțiune directă. În timp ce The Oxford Handbook of Identities in Organizations oferă o privire de ansamblu teoretică, lucrarea editată de Majken Schultz și colegii săi prioritizează schimbarea în fața persistenței și expresia în fața determinării.

În contextul operei autorului, Constructing Identity in and around Organizations reprezintă o evoluție firească de la temele explorate în The Expressive Organization sau Organizational Identity. Dacă lucrările anterioare puneau bazele conceptului de identitate organizațională, acest volum din seria Perspectives on Process Organization Studies rafinează analiza, mutând accentul pe dinamica fluidă a „construcției” identitare. Recomandăm acest volum pentru rigoarea cu care tratează tranziția de la identitatea ca entitate la identitatea ca proces, oferind instrumente intelectuale esențiale pentru a înțelege cum evoluează organizațiile moderne în perioade de instabilitate.

Despre autor

Majken Schultz este profesor la Copenhagen Business School și o figură centrală în studiul identității organizaționale la nivel global. Expertiza sa este consolidată de rolul de partener în cadrul Reputation Institute, unde îmbină cercetarea academică de înalt nivel cu analiza practică a reputației corporative. Opera sa, care include titluri de referință precum The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Identity și The Expressive Organization, explorează intersecția dintre branding, cultură și identitate. Prin contribuțiile sale, Schultz a remodelat modul în care mediul academic și cel de afaceri înțeleg mecanismele prin care organizațiile își definesc și comunică valorile esențiale.

Descriere

Constructing Identity in and around Organizations is the second volume in Perspectives on Process Organization Studies, a series which explores an emerging approach to the study of organizations that focuses on (understanding) activities, interactions, and change as essential properties of organizations rather than structures and state - an approach which prioritizes activity over product, change over persistence, novelty over continuity, and expression over determination.The constructing of identities - those processes through which actors in and around organizations claim, accept, negotiate, affirm, stabilize, maintain, reproduce, challenge, disrupt, destabilize, repair or otherwise relate to their sense of selves and others - has become a critically important topic in the study of organizations. This volume attempts to amplify - and possibly refract - contemporary debates amongst identity scholars that question established notions of identity as "essence", "entity," or "thing". It calls for alternative approaches to understanding identity and its significance in contexts in and around organizations by conceptualizing it as "process" - that is, being continually under construction. Based in diverse theoretical and philosophical traditions and contexts, contributions by leading scholars to this volume offer new perspectives on how individual and organizational identities evolve and come to be constructed through ongoing activities and interactions.

Recenzii

`Review from previous edition Praise for the Series: "As we become more willing to convert reified entities into differentiated streams, the resulting images of process have become more viable and more elusive. Organization becomes organizing, being becomes becoming, construction becomes constructing. But as we see ourselves saying more words that end in "ing," what must we be thinking? That is not always clear. But now, under the experienced guidance of editors Langley and Tsoukas, there is an annual forum that moves us toward continuity and consolidation in process studies. This book series promises to be a vigorous, thoughtful forum dedicated to improvements in the substance and craft of process articulation." 'Karl E. Weick, Rensis Likert Distinguished University Professor of Organizational Behavior and Psychology, University of Michigan, USA
`This series will provide an opportunity for bringing together contributions across different areas so that comparisons can be made and can also provide a space for discussions across fields. Professors Langley and Tsoukas are leaders in the development and use of process approaches. Under their editorship, the series will attract the work and attention of a wide array of distinguished organizational scholars.'Martha S. Feldman, Johnson Chair for Civic Governance and Public Management, Professor of Social Ecology, Political Science, Business and Sociology, University of California, Irvine, USA
`Perspectives on Process Organization Studies will be the definitive annual volume of theories and research that advance our understanding of process questions dealing with how things emerge, grow, develop, and terminate over time. I applaud Professors Ann Langley and Haridimos Tsoukas for launching this important book series, and encourage colleagues to submit their process research and subscribe to PROS.'Andrew H. Van de Ven, Vernon H. Heath Professor of Organizational Innovation and Change, University of Minnesota, USA
`The new series - Perspectives on Process Organization Studies - is a timely and valuable addition to the organization studies literature. The ascendancy of process perspectives in recent years has signified an important departure from traditional perspectives on organizations that have tended to privilege either self-standing events or discrete entities.'Wanda J. Orlikowski, Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Information Technologies and Organization Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
