Description This book aims to establish the first formalised scholarly work on critical management studies (CMS) in the South African context. The book is a collection of seven chapters, six of which employ a conceptual methodology and one of which follows an interpretive paradigm using qualitative methods of inquiry.
Critical management studies is a relatively young school of thought, arising in the early 1990s and still very much a peripheral movement within the academic discipline of management. South Africa has minimal scholarship on CMS, as few scholars have worked there. Furthermore, publication opportunities are non-existent as CMS is virtually unknown in the South African community of management scholars. Thus, this book represents the first academic work on CMS published in South Africa, written and reviewed by scholars familiar with the field. The primary target readership would be management academics, but it could also be a valuable reference for postgraduate students in management.
