What happens when you take one of the most fundamental concepts in social science and apply it to one of the most ubiquitous forms of human collectives? This handbook strives to answer this question by exploring what has become a “root construct” in the field of management and organization studies: organizational identity (OI). The handbook provides a road-map to the OI field, both theoretically and methodologically, across seven sections: 1) Mapping the Organizational Identity Field; 2) Critical Perspectives on Organizational Identity; 3) Integrative Models of Organizational Identity; 4) How Individuals Relate to Organizational Identity; 5) Sources and Processes of Organizational Identity; 6) Identity and the Organization’s Environment; and 7) Implications of Organizational Identity. Each chapter not only offers a broad overview of its particular topic but also advances new knowledge and discusses the future of research in its area of focus. The handbook is introduced and concluded by the four editors who invite the reader to join the future development of OI.

Understanding the history and development of organization theory has recently made new advances through new research emerging on the history of management thought, as well as through the institutionalization of critical approaches to organizations and organizational knowledge. Therefore, there is a need to revisit the historical schools and their meaning for the contemporary debates in organizational theorizing, as well as to take a critical approach to the succession of paradigms. In addition, there is a continuing need in organization theory to distinguish between different meta-theoretical influences behind new theories. In sum, a new version of the total historical development of organization is needed, and this title meets that need by directly using the historical sources of organization, instead of offering a secondary reading of the classics. The book also illustrates how turns in social and cultural history intertwine with the changes in philosophical assumptions and social theoretical paradigms, without resorting to a simplified linear narrative. This book will be essential reading for all scholars in critical management studies, and those wishing to broaden and update their knowledge of contemporary organization theory. -

Organizations are often complex and unwieldy, and many managers have difficulty in combining ideals and positive identities with the complexities and imperfections of life. They are expected to be strategic and competent, while at the same time human and empathetic. This engaging book takes a fresh look at managerial work as experienced and understood by managers. It examines the central tenets of managerial life, such as the work expectations that managers have, the significance they assign to different activities, and the difficulties that they face. It also takes a wider view of working life by looking at subordination in the managerial context. The theoretical material is supported by in-depth interviews with thirteen managers from different organizations. This book will appeal to those with an interest in management, and in leadership and identity questions in modern working life.

What are organizations? Where do they come from? How are they transformed and adapted to new situations? In the digital age and in the global network society, traditional theories of the organization can no longer answer these questions. Based on actor-network theory, this book explains organizations as flexible, open networks in which both human and non-human actors enter into socio-technical assemblies by constantly negotiating and re-negotiating programs of action. Organizations are not macro social structures or autonomous systems operating behind the backs of individuals. Instead, they are scalable actor-networks guided by network norms of connectivity, flow, communication, participation, authenticity, and flexibility.
