This volume draws together critical assessments of Michel Foucault's
contribution to our understanding of the making and remaking of the modern
organization.
The volume provides a valuable summary of Foucault's contribution to
organization theory, which also challenges the conventions of traditional
organizational analysis. By applying Foucauldian concepts such as discipline,
surveillance and power/knowledge, the authors shed new light on the genesis of
the modern organization and raise fresh questions about organization theory.
The bureaucratic career is, for example, analyzed as a disciplinary device, a
mechanism that seeks to alter rational choice rather than constrain bodies.
This raises questions about Foucault's linking of the modern organization's
birth with the enlightenment. Other contributions review the impact of
totalizing managerial discourses and the limits and possiblities of
resistance, and question the profound pessimism of Foucault. The volume
concludes by examining the implications of Foucault's later work in which he
suggests that people are much freer than they feel.
