what happened to the public Organization a bibliometric analysis of public administration and Organization Studies
The American Review of Public Administration, 2014Co-Authors: Rick VogelAbstract:Despite their common roots in the early theories of Organization, public administration and Organization Studies have evolved separately. This article explores the conditions that favor and initiate the cross-boundary exchange of knowledge between these two fields. The study applies bibliometric methodology and advances standard methods of science-mapping by combining different levels of analysis in a two-mode network, drawing on citation data from 16 European and North American top journals in Organization Studies and public administration, spanning the period 2000 to 2010. None of the 18 clusters of current research extracted from these data can be traced in both Organization Studies and public administration, however closer analysis reveals two strong links between these fields and indicates that the boundaries between them are semipermeable, allowing the unidirectional, rather than bidirectional, transfer of knowledge from Organization Studies to public administration. This study argues for greater ra...

the visible colleges of management and Organization Studies a bibliometric analysis of academic journals
Organization Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Rick VogelAbstract:Informal groups play a pivotal role in the socio-cognitive structuring and development of all scientific fields. While most social Studies on such groups present a static view, taking a snapshot of them at a certain moment in time, this study sheds a dynamic perspective on invisible colleges and examines empirically how they evolve in the course of time. Drawing on the neo-Kuhnian sociology of science, it defines invisible colleges as communication networks and considers how their emergence and evolution is affected by the Organizational features of fragmented adhocracies. The empirical aspect focuses on formal scholarly communication through publication in a sample of seven leading journals in the field of management and Organization Studies over three decades. The methodology is rooted in bibliometrics and combines co-citation analysis with network visualization. The resulting networks, which reflect the community structure of the field, map 40 different colleges. Seven patterns of how this nested struc...

Masters of the Universe: Power and Elites in Organization Studies:
Organization Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Michael Ivor ReedAbstract:Elite analysis has re-emerged as a central theme in contemporary Organization Studies. This paper builds on recent contributions to this revitalized field by developing a distinctive theoretical approach and substantive agenda for the study of power relations and elite ruling in Organization Studies. By drawing on a realist/materialist ontology and a neo-Weberian analytical framework, the paper identifies the idea of ‘command situations’ as the key concept for identifying changing mechanisms and forms of elite domination and control in contemporary socio-political orders. Three case histories are subsequently discussed in order to provide illustrative examples of the way in which this analytical framework can enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between ‘institutional’ and ‘interstitial’ power as it shapes the emergence of hybrid governance regimes through which contemporary regimes of elite domination and rule become organized.

responses to social constructionism and critical realism in Organization Studies
Organization Studies, 2011Co-Authors: Tim Newton, Stan Deetz, Michael Ivor ReedAbstract:In this paper, we address debate about social constructionism and critical realism by examining current concerns relating to the carbon economy, climate change and related ecological issues. At the same time, we consider the implications of our discussion for processes of governance. Following an introduction, we present three varied sets of argument by ourselves as Editors. We then conclude the paper by briefly introducing each of the papers included in this Themed Section.

a content analysis of the content analysis literature in Organization Studies research themes data sources and methodological refinements
Organizational Research Methods, 2007Co-Authors: Vincent J Duriau, Rhonda K Reger, Michael D PfarrerAbstract:We use content analysis to examine the content analysis literature in Organization Studies. Given the benefits of content analysis, it is no surprise that its use in Organization Studies has been growing in the course of the past 25 years (Erdener & Dunn, 1990; Jauch, Osborn, & Martin 1980). First, we review the principles and the advantages associated with the method. Then, we assess how the methodology has been applied in the literature in terms of research themes, data sources, and methodological refinements. Although content analysis has been applied to research topics across the subdomains of management research, research in strategy and managerial cognition have yielded particularly interesting results. We conclude with suggestions for enhancing the utility of content analytic methods in Organization Studies.

peripheral vision discourse analysis in Organization Studies the case for critical realism
Organization Studies, 2005Co-Authors: Norman FaircloughAbstract:Although Studies of Organization certainly need to include analysis of discourse, one prominent tendency within current research on Organizational discourse limits its value for Organizational Studies through a commitment to postmodernism and extreme versions of social constructivism. I argue that a version of critical discourse analysis based on a critical realist social ontology is potentially of greater value to Organization Studies, and I refer in particular to the contribution it can make to research on Organizational change.
