Across many sectors, new developments and discourses that emphasize change, collaboration, shifting professional boundaries and increased sharing of knowledge are taking place. One is thus challenged to question and/or develop further understanding of how and to what extent new ideas, scientific developments and technologies are translated within such contexts and thereby extend management and organization studies. To advance understanding about this significant field in the scholarly community, this special issue has assembled a diverse set of papers, which review developments in translation theory and seek to encourage new thinking and frameworks and open up new directions in management and organization studies more generally. By reflecting on these papers, the authors summarize key challenges in translational research and new framings, and point to exciting new research opportunities that can be found in fruitfully comparing, elaborating, expanding, contrasting and blending extant perspectives.

It focuses on audience members' own experiences and, in particular, what audience activities actually play a role in shaping mass attraction, and how the deployment of these activities may vary. Analysing 65 in-depth interviews with management practitioners in their role as audience members of guru seminars, the authors identify different key consumption activities, and explain how individual management practitioners may shift in consumption orientation throughout the communication process. This paper argues that such a broader and more dynamic understanding of consumption activity is essential in understanding the success and impact of management ideas, and opens several fruitful research directions. 25 december 2014 19 p.

Aan invloedrijke ideeën geen gebrek in management- en consultancyland. Maar wat weten we eigenlijk over de manier waarop deze managementideeën tot stand zijn gekomen? En op welke manier worden we verleid om deze ideeën op te pakken en zelfs op organisaties los te laten? Dit boek gaat over de oorsprong van managementideeën en hoe deze worden ontwikkeld door consultants en goeroes. Het geeft een kijkje achter de schermen van het ontstaan van invloedrijke ideeën als de BCG-matrix, het 7S-model, Total Quality Management (TQM), de Balanced Scorecard (BSC), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Lean Management, Agile en Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Ondernemen. Hoewel veel van deze ideeën op grote schaal bekend zijn onder managers, consultants en wetenschappers, worden er te weinig kritische vragen over hun oorsprong en ontwikkeling gesteld. Dit boek laat zien dat managementideeën vooral het resultaat zijn van mensenwerk – maar wel van mensen die een uniek vak verstaan.

De sociale relaties van commissarissen en bestuurders in dit netwerk omvatten hun lange werktraditie, hun maatschappelijke zichtbaarheid en hun oude vriendschappen die tijdens opleidingen en banen zijn opgebouwd. Het blijkt dat met name de top van het bedrijfsleven een goed en waterdicht sociaal (informeel) netwerk heeft dat zich dikwijls kenmerkt door een lange traditie (Fennema en Heemskerk, 2008). Toch is ook dit netwerk aan veranderingen onderhevig nu nieuwe professionals van de babyboomgeneratie de traditionele structuren binnendringen. Daarnaast blijken niet alleen bestuurders en commissarissen te komen en te gaan, maar zijn ook de bedrijven die de netwerken domineren niet constant.

De enorme aantrekkingskracht van managementboeken en goeroeseminars wekt de suggestie dat managers veelal als makke schapen achter elke managementgoeroe aan lopen. Bestaand onderzoek naar dit fenomeen kijkt echter vooral naar de goeroe zelf terwijl de manager hierin onderbelicht blijft. Dit artikel richt zich op de manier waarop managers goeroeseminars ‘consumeren’. Door middel van een serie diepte-interviews met 37 deelnemers aan verschillende goeroeseminars en vier veldexperts laten we zien hoe cliënten als passieve ontvangers én als actieve consumenten kunnen worden gezien. Hieruit volgt dat managers niet over één kam kunnen worden geschoren wat betreft hun activiteiten die zij ontplooien in relatie tot goeroeseminars en de potentiële impact van populaire goeroe-ideeën. Op basis hiervan ontwikkelen we vier perspectieven over de goeroe-cliëntrelatie die bij kunnen dragen aan een beter begrip van de rol en waarde van goeroes in de huidige bedrijfskundige gemeenschap.

Quantitative empirical research into 'management fashions' or 'organization concepts' is dominated by studies using print media indicators (PMI). Such research builds on the simple premise that the number of publications on an organization concept in the course of time reflects managerial interest in this concept. However, whilst PMI may be fruitfully used to study management fashions, this use is less straightforward than appears commonly assumed. We aim to fulfil the need for a methodological paper discussing the possibilities and limitations of using PMI. Thereby we draw on insights from bibliometrics and management fashion research, including our own ongoing research. © 2006 Springer.

Adviseurs spelen een prominente rol in het aanbod van nieuwe organisatieconcepten op de markt. Onduidelijk is hoe zij nu eigenlijk met deze concepten omgaan in hun opdrachten binnen cliëntorganisaties. In dit artikel worden de verschillende sleutelfactoren onderscheiden, gerelateerd aan de klant, de adviseur en de adviessituatie, die de variëteit aan meer of minder gedetermineerde routes in een opdracht beïnvloeden. Dit heeft enkele belangrijke implicaties voor het kijken naar de rol van nieuwe concepten en methoden binnen de cliënt-adviseurrelatie, en biedt adviseurs en hun klanten een raamwerk voor reflectie over de manier waarop zij samen het proces vormgeven.

Contains fulltext : 19407_surganse.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Congruent to fashions in clothing, management knowledge, as contained in organization concepts, is continuously and collectively rejected while embraced only a short time before, a phenomenon referred to as 'concepticide'. These organization concepts play an important role in the diffusion of management in organizational praxis. Soon after their introduction, some concepts become extensively debated and widely associated with changes in actual organizations. However these allegedly novel ideas are easily abandoned after a short while and replaced by the next innovative vision on organizing. Unsurprisingly, these temporarily popular concepts leave an impression of management intellectuals and practitioners as capricious, constantly jumping on the next management idea. The presumed transient and non-cumulative nature of these 'management fashions' easily invites various knowledge carriers to repeatedly start from scratch and provides a fertile ground for reinventing the wheel. Management fashion literature suggests that these recurring patterns unavoidably induce 'continuous transience' in management knowledge. Constantly introducing knowledge commodities as new easily makes the existing regarded as old and reduce its attractiveness. Such a view at least suggests little bases for entrenchment within important knowledge carriers. Starting from the premise that 'new' not necessarily implies transience of the 'old', this book seeks to develop a theory of sedimentation. Unlike current management fashion accounts, this study shows that during an alleged downturn, a concept leaves a variety of different traces in various knowledge carriers such as print media, consultancies and business organizations that follow their own trajectory loosely coupled to the concept they were initially associated with. At the same time the paper identifies important factors shaping the likelihood of a concept's erosion, thereby emphasizing that the viability of these traces remains particularly fragile Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen, 3 maart 2004 XI, 148 p.
