Postmodernism offers little in the way of organisational theory to the practicing manager: A Reflexive Account

Peter Sawyer
University of Lincoln

2006 5 (3) Tamara: Journal for Critical Organization Inquiry

Abstract

The paper is an exploration of the usefulness of postmodern theory to today’s manager. In particular, the paper asks whether it can be applied in practice. Decentring the self through a two-voice device aids in this analysis but leads to another dilemma. Where does the questioning end? The paper ends with a challenge about authenticity.
