Overview

Management and organizational history has grown into an established field of research with competing and contrasting approaches and methods that are relevant for management and organization studies. This short-form book provides readers with expert insights on intellectual interventions in management and organization history. The authors illuminate the central ideas, works, and theorists involved in forming the link between history, management, and organization studies, particularly focusing on the debates addressing the need for a 'historic turn' in management and organizational studies. With coverage of nascent schools of thought in management historiography, such as ANTi-History, revisionist history, counter-history, rhetorical history, the Copenhagen School, microhistory, critical realist histories, alongside existing modernist and post-modernist approaches, as well as postcolonial, decolonial, and feminist critiques, the book is essential reading for scholars and students learning or exploring the role of history in management and organization studies.

This excellent publication addresses central topics on the making of Management and Organizational History as no book before. This well written and thought provoking work is a must read for all interested on the topic specifically and those interested on management and organizations in general. Rafael Alcadipani Reflecting deeply on recent historical approaches to management and organization studies the authors have provided a uniquely reflexive account of the different histories, conceptions of histories and authors involved in recent scholarship that has sought to bring history back into focus in a largely ahistorical and instrumental field. The book will be a significant guide for those researchers seeking to disentangle the different approaches to histories involved in recent research, alerting them to the grounds and assumptions underlying various contributions. Stewart Clegg| D.Phil (Umea) D.Litt,(UTS) Ph.D (Bradford) BSc.Hons (Aston).Distinguished Professor History needs to be taken seriously in management and organization research, and Mills and Novicevic do just that. The books offers a thought-provoking critical analysis of the reasons and consequences of the ahistorical orientation in management and organization research. By so doing, this book adds to the recent historical turn and helps us to go deeper and further than what we typically think organization or management history is all about. Eero Vaara, Professor,Aalto University School of Business Albert and Milorad have captured the essence of work in the burgeoning field of `Management and Organizational History', spanning through the wide spectrum of underlying aspects of history-making - ranging from `the historic turn', amodernist perspective of historic turn, paradigmatic 10-point agenda on organizational history by Booth and Rowlinson (2006) till postmodernism influence on development of management and organizational history as relevant area of research. The book provides deep insights on positivist and postmodernist historiography. This book demonstrates the past role of historians, giving way to present day historians to owe the authorship of history production in management and organization Dr Gagan Deep Sharma,University School of Management Studies,Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
