Research Interests

The area I work within is the humanistic turn in management. My current research interests involve: organizational archetypes; critical change management studies; post-transformational management in Eastern Europe; cyborg feminism; organizational ethnography; and narrative approaches to research in the social sciences. These areas appear eclectic but at their core continue to turn around images and cultural ideas inspiring organizational transformation. These interests culminate in my most recent concentration on what I believe is the underpinning of all these areas, i.e. organizational archetypes, or powerful cultural constructs that lie at the heart of the way we organize and talk of organizations. The methods I am adopting in my research are, as I see it, particularly well suited to the aim of throwing light on such processes - ie, ethnography and narrative methods. Recently I have been using a method focusing on the archetypical narrative, either by means of analysing ethnographic material or through the collection of fictive narratives pertaining to some theme or idea.
