Critical Management Studies (CMS) has developed a global presence over the last two decades. Yet the literature is dominated by writings from the UK and Scandinavia in particular, and the tendency is to treat this literature as constituting CMS. However, the meaning, practice, constraints and context of CMS vary considerably between different countries, cultures and language communities. This volume surveys the various countries and regions where CMS has acquired some following and seeks to explore the different ways in which CMS is understood and the different contexts within which it operates, as well as its possible future development. Critical Management Studies: Global Voices, Local Accents brings together the leading academics in each region by focussing on those countries where CMS has a more or less extensive presence, the volume seeks to bring to light various issues. One is just to gain some understanding of the development of CMS within those countries. How extensive is it? How well-established? The second main theme will be an explanation of the institutional and political context of CMS in each country, to what extent does the nature of universities enable CMS? In what ways do national politics intersect with CMS? More profoundly, each contribution will elucidate what CMS means within that country - what are the key issues and debates? Finally, the way that CMS in each country relates and responds to the emergent CMS Aimed at scholars and researchers in the field of both CMS and Organizational Studies, this new research volume will prove essential reading.

Industry Reviews

"Edited by a highly competent team of academics, this book fills a wholly neglected area of discourse relating to Critical Management Studies in providing a set of original contributions from a wide range of countries rather than just from the Anglo-American tradition. Given globalisation in postmodern culture and economy, this is long overdue." -David Knights, Lancaster University, UK
