Challenging the Dominant Paradigm: Critical Management Knowledge for Humanistic Management

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Despite the warning of Boyacigiller and Adler (1991) about the parochial nature of management knowledge produced in the United States of America (USA), after nearly two decades Grey (2010) confirms that this parochial nature is unfortunately still alive. According to his analysis, the majority of the authors who published in the ASQ are from the USA, and it is claimed that there has been such a pattern for years. In another call for a pluralistic perspective in the field of international management knowledge, it is also claimed that there is greater dominance of North American research paradigm and that its homogenizing structure is still strong (Tsui, 2007). This situation is also acknowledged by other scholars in the field (Jack et al., 2008; Michailova, 2011; Özbilgin, 2004).
