“…But even there not everyone is screened by machines. Relational banking is alive and well in many community and rural lending establishments (Holmes et al 2007, Dinh andKleimeier 2007), and even in large banks (Li et al 2009, Vargha 2017. In fact, there is a curious symmetry of personalized attention in lending.…”

We review the literature in sociology and related fields on the fast global growth of consumer credit and debt and the possible explanations for this expansion. We describe the ways people interact with the strongly segmented consumer credit system around the world—more specifically, the way they access credit and the way they are held accountable for their debt. We then report on research on two areas in which consumer credit is consequential: its effects on social relations and on physical and mental health. Throughout the article, we point out national variations and discuss explanations for these differences. We conclude with a brief discussion of the future tasks and challenges of comparative research on consumer credit.

“…This focus is visible in most performative work in organization studies, in particular, in performative analyses of strategy discourses (e.g. Kornberger & Clegg 2011;Vargha 2018). Processual inquiries, on the other hand, do not put the emphasis on the critique of traditional conceptions of the relationships between discourse and reality (even though it is likely that processual scholars would agree with a performative take on discourse).…”

“…Many performative studies, especially those influenced by Callon (2007) who defines performation as a process, offer a "process" model in order to account for performativity (see e.g. Ligonie 2018;Marti & Gond 2018;Svetlova 2016;Vargha 2018). Yet, even in these studies, processuality often takes the backstage, as performative scholars focus their attention on other aspects, such as performative work (e.g.…”

In this paper, we propose to approach performativity and processuality as mindsets. We suggest that researchers interested by or pursuing performative studies should recognize more explicitly the inherent processuality of performativity. After offering broad overviews on performativity and process thinking, we highlight that both mindsets rest on a similar view of reality as processual, and both share a strong commitment to qualitative empirical work. In spite of the differences that exist between the two mindsets-such as their treatment of agency, the place of socio-materiality and their approach to continuity and change-we contend that acknowledging and engaging more directly with processuality benefits performative studies, as it helps these studies to deal with some of the challenges they often face. In doing so, performative studies could refine their analyses of managerial and organizational phenomena and would also increase their contribution to our field.

“…The performativity discussion has been centered on the academic community of practice, but there also is an explicit appreciation of the performative agency of "theoreticians in the wild" (Callon, 2007: 41), particularly in the business context. An example is when a strategist theorizes models of reality, for instance, about customer needs, and engages in strategic marketing to make them come true (Vargha, 2017).…”

Humanistic management practices are often perceived as 'unrealistic', as they stand in steep contrast to 'normal' business reality shaped by the commercial logic of neoclassic economics. The conceptual lens of performative practices focuses on how practices that appear to be unrealistic can be 'made real' through their enactment. This paper studies such performative humanistic practices of the three companies Greyston (USA), Good-Ark (China), and Allsafe (Germany). Through a thematic template analysis, we identify two distinct types of accompanying practices that enable the performativity of the core humanistic management practices studied. Enabling practices favored the initial performativity the humanistic practices by providing a local 'proof of concept'. Disseminating practices aided performativity by spreading humanistic practices and therefore increasing practices' global verisimilitude.
