Title: Management concepts: their transfer and implementation
Author(s): Luchien Karsten
Journal: Critical Perspectives on International Business
ISSN: 1742-2043
Year: 2006 Volume: 2 Issue: 3 Page: 195 - 207
DOI: 10.1108/ 17422040610682773
Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to claim that Habermas's pragmatic speech act theory helps us to extend our understanding of how management concepts are actually applied. First, the relevant features of management concepts are examined, to indicate how the diffusion of knowledge about management practices and organizational structuring takes place. Subsequently, the paper focuses on the adoption of management concepts in companies, looking at the different ways management concepts are implemented. Some implementation is based on strategic actions, others on communicative action. This issue is further explored in the final section.
Design/methodology/ approach – Compares Lervik and Lunnar's categorization of management concept implementation to Habermas's epistemology.
Findings – Identifies aspects of language as conversation as determinant of new management concept implementation.
Practical implications – Shows how role discourse analysis coupled with Habermas can give an understanding of implementation of new management concepts.
Originality/value – Practical application of Habermasian analysis of communication.

Title: Hidden agendas, power and managerial assumptions in information systems development: An ethnographic study
Author(s): Michael D. Myers, Leslie W. Young
Journal: Information Technology & People
ISSN: 0959-3845
Year: Sep 1997 Volume: 10 Issue: 3 Page: 224 - 240
DOI: 10.1108/ 09593849710178225
Publisher: MCB UP Ltd
Abstract: A number of researchers have drawn attention to the way in which information systems development is an inherently political activity. Using the critical social theory of Jurgen Habermas, discusses the development of an information system in mental health. Using critical ethnography, reveals otherwise hidden agendas, power and managerial assumptions to be deeply embedded in the project. Raises broader questions about the extent to which information systems can be seen as “colonizing mechanisms”.

Title: From Words to Actions: Communication for Business Management
Author(s): Ellen A. Herda, Dorothy S. Messerschmitt
Journal: Leadership & Organization Development Journal
ISSN: 0143-7739
Year: Feb 1991 Volume: 12 Issue: 1
DOI: 10.1108/ 01437739110144672
Publisher: MCB UP Ltd
Abstract: Based on the work of Jurgen Habermas, language and communication and ways to move from words to communicative action in the business environment are discussed. Information is not the basis of communication. Rather, it is language and understanding. Language operates on two levels, a technical or linguistic level and a social or communicative level. The latter leads to interpersonal relationships and communicative action which provide the context for critique, change, and organisational competitiveness. The ways for managers to develop communicative competence among members of an organisation are considered.

Title: Critical theory and the management of change in organizations
Author(s): Adrian Carr
Journal: Journal of Organizational Change Management
ISSN: 0953-4814
Year: Jun 2000 Volume: 13 Issue: 3 Page: 208 - 220
DOI: 10.1108/ 09534810010330869
Publisher: MCB UP Ltd
Abstract: Raises the initial problem of what is meant by the term critical theory and discusses some common misconceptions that have arisen about the meaning of this term. The dialectic logic that was championed by the group of scholars collectively known as the Frankfurt School is outlined and it is noted how dialectics transcends binary oppositional thinking. It is argued that the body of work of these scholars has a strong contemporary relevance to issues in the management of change in organizations. The other papers in the issue are introduced.

Sobre la escuela canadiense, estudios basados en las tesis de esta escuela y como realizan hipótesis falsables:

Title: Calling up culture: Information spaces and information flows as the virtual dynamics of inclusion and exclusion
Author(s): Stephen Little, Len Holmes, Margaret Grieco
Journal: Information Technology & People
ISSN: 0959-3845
Year: Dec 2001 Volume: 14 Issue: 4 Page: 353 - 367
DOI: 10.1108/ 09593840110411158
Publisher: MCB UP Ltd
Abstract: Both critics and proponents of globalisation tend to assume that it is a uniform process leading to a flattening of the cultural terrain. In contrast, this paper, using examples from Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and Canada, demonstrates a more complex interaction between traditional cultural practices and modern communication forms. The new information technologies enable universal access to authentic local voice. Archiving social and cultural practices has historically been the business of museums, universities, and indeed oral traditions of song and poetry. New information technologies provide for cultural continuities and reflexivities: they enable the routine archiving of social and cultural practice at a minimal cost through hypertext, Web pages and universal access. The “globalisation of culture”, so often discussed, needs to be reframed with reference to this highly overlooked indigenous capability to archive own culture. This paper attempts to provide such a reframing.

Title: At the crossroads of marketing communications and the Internet: experiences of UK advertisers
Author(s): Jonathan M. Lace
Journal: Internet Research
ISSN: 1066-2243
Year: Jul 2004 Volume: 14 Issue: 3 Page: 236 - 244
DOI: 10.1108/ 10662240410542661
Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Abstract: The crossroads between new media (predominantly the Internet) and marketing communications is a topic of growing interest and importance. Several themes are addressed in this paper including the involvement of the advertising agency, the role and features of Web sites, the measurement of effectiveness, Internet advertising and e-commerce and the management of new media marketing communications. The author presents empirical evidence from a comprehensive study amongst UK marketers on contemporary practice, and proffers advice on best practice.

Title: 55+ people as internet users
Author(s): Satu Vuori, Maria Holmlund-Rytkönen
Journal: Marketing Intelligence & Planning
ISSN: 0263-4503
Year: Jan 2005 Volume: 23 Issue: 1 Page: 58 - 76
DOI: 10.1108/ 02634500510577474
Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Abstract: Purpose – Explores internet-related needs and wants of older adults and identifies internet user segments among them.
Design/methodology/ approach – The internet, primarily designed for the young, has been at the centre of research and business attention for a number of years, whereas so far older age groups have received surprisingly little attention. A survey in the Greater Helsinki area in Finland was undertaken.
Findings – The survey showed that every 55+ respondent was acquainted with the internet and that one-third of the respondents were non-users, while the majority were frequent web visitors using and purchasing internet services to an extent fairly similar to younger counterparts. Two segments in line with the life-stage model, labelled healthy indulging and ailing outgoing internet users, were found and show that there is heterogeneity among this age group.
Research limitations/ implications – A limitation common to surveys also concerns this study, namely that the sample was quite small – 127 respondents – and strictly defined. Therefore in future studies it would be justified to expand the number and type of studied 55+ respondents, and also to conduct studies that reveal their real internet behaviour such as observation and participatory studies. Implications for web designers, service providers, and politicians are presented which are based on the respondents' own practical development ideas and suggestions.
Originality/value – The study is valuable because it sheds light on a rapidly increasing market segment on which there currently are very limited empirical findings, in particular outside the USA and concerning internet values and behaviour.

y podría seguir y aburrir.. lo importante además es que todos los artículos citados en los comentarios son artículos que han pasado por Peer-Review, no artículos de divulgación o libros para el público en general que no pasan los filtros de los artículos académicos.

Espero con ello satisfacer parte de tus dudas Happy Butcher.

La mayoría de ellos se puede acceder desde la BBDD Emerald de artículos de ciencias sociales de forma gratuita si lo haces desde una universidad, por tanto lo creo accesible a tu persona. Si alguno en concreto lo deseas me lo comentas ya que excepto unos pocos que son de pago el resto están en formato PDF.
