Example text
In this sense a theory of organization is pragmatic rather than mimetic as it constructs rather than discovers the world (see Rhodes in this volume). Paying attention to these processes implies that ‘instead of generating analyses of organization that assume its objects to exist “out there”, waiting to be captured by the tools of the social scientist, analysis is informed by the reflexive understanding that the (methodical) organization of analysis (for example, within different paradigms) is productive of what we know’ (Willmott 1998: 214).
To understand how such strategic action is possible Levy and Scully draw on Gramsci’s coded account of Machiavelli’s The Prince, as The Modern Prince, to develop a strategic theory of power that enhances the understanding of institutional entrepreneurship, which builds on Gramsci’s account of the ‘war of position’ led by ‘organic intellectuals’ of the working class against the structures dominating the institutional field. The account drops the class rhetoric from Gramsci but retains the politics, translated into an organizations and institutions framework, using the case of the international distribution of AIDS drugs to developing countries.
These questions imply the ‘turning back of organization theory upon itself’ (Chia 1996: 7). Thus, organization theory can be considered as supplementary, ‘for its texts always present the “organization of organization”, that is to say, that as texts on organization they are themselves “organized” according to certain normalized criteria’ (Cooper 1990: 196). Organizing organizations through textual practices occurs in the context of socially legitimized public institutions – organizations are part of ‘socially “organized” bodies of knowledge claims and, as such, are always the effects of primary organizing processes’ (Chia 1996: 25), such as journals, with their protocols, genre-requirements, reference cliques, and cabals, and so on.
