Turning a disadvantage into a resource: Working at the periphery

Institutionalized Publishing Practices as a Barrier to Participation in the Global Management Discourse

“…Working from the periphery may constitute an advantage (Zilber, 2015) but the negligible amount of papers from Eastern Europe appearing on the pages of the major global management journals suggest that it is more often a liability.

The Production of Managerial Knowledge and Organizational Theory: New Approaches to Writing, Producing and Consuming Theory

“…Still, in recent years there has been a body of research in the tradition of the sociology of knowledge in management and organization studies that may be explored thematically, highlighting the diverse issues involved in the various stages in the production of scientific knowledge. These explorations include the philosophy and politics of the paradigmatic basis of organization and management theory (Amis & Silk, 2008;Astley, 1985); the limits and problematics of the peer review process (Abu-Saad, 2008;Bedeian, 2004;Burgess & Shaw, 2010;Strang & Siller, 2015;; the dynamics of writing and publishing (Cetro, Sirmon & Brymer, 2010;Cummings & Frost, 1985;de Rond & Miller, 2005;Golden-Biddle & Locke, 1993;Locke & Golden-Biddle, 1997;Macdonald & Kam, 2007); the interrelations between methodological tools and theoretical conceptualizations (Nord, 2012;Reay & Jones, 2016;Schneiberg & Clemens, 2006); the transformations and cross-disciplinary diffusion of theoretical concepts (Bartunek & Spreitzer, 2006;Bort & Kieser, 2011;Oswick, Fleming & Hanlon, 2011;Sahlin-Andersson & Engwall, 2002;Whetten, Felin & King, 2009); the ways theorizing takes place (Klag & Langley, 2013;Langley, 1999); the way theories are actually used (Glynn, Barr & Dacin, 2000; Golden-Biddle, Locke & Reay, 2006;Judge et al, 2007;Zupic & Cater, 2015); and, the tensions between North American and European scientific communities and practices (Battilana, Anteby & Sengul, 2010;Grey, 2010;Usdiken & Pasadoes, 1995;Zilber, 2015).…”
