Anticipating a renaissance in organisation and management theories

Abstract

Management and organisation theories have, by and large, relied on direct or indirect coercion or enticements to obtain cooperation from employees. The wisdom of Selznick, Simon and others - to inspire organisational members to contribute to group goals through identification with the organisation - has been relatively under-emphasised. Moreover, organisation and management principles display a rather instrumental character. Yet, the all-round connectivity characterising the Internet Age poses challenges to rosy accounts of effective leadership by outing the darkest deeds of the most powerful. It is therefore necessary to free up inquiry and knowledge of wherewithal from the narrow confines of instrumentality and mathematical tractability. Taking advantage of the advances in computing technology and the philosophy of science, complexity principles need to be better incorporated into management and leadership concepts. Can organisation and management theory deliver that renaissance?
