Organisational Space and Beyond

<p>Through the focus on organizational space using the reception and significance of the seminal work on the subject by sociologist Henri Lefebvre this book demonstrates why and how Lefebvre's work can be used to inform and elaborate organisational studies especially in view of the current interest in the socio-material dimension of organisations. </p><p></p><p>As the spatial turn in organisational research exposed the importance of spatial design in inducing power and cultural relations Lefebvre's perspective has become an inspiring theoretical framework. However Organisational Space and Beyond explores how Lefebvre’s work could be of a much wider relevance especially given his profound theoretical engagement with diverse schools of philosophical and sociological thought including Nietzsche Marx Sartre and Foucault. </p><p></p><p>This book brings together a range of authors that collectively develop a broader understanding of Lefebvre's relevance to organizational studies including areas of management concern such as strategy and diversity studies and ultimately draw on Lefebvre’s work to rethink reimagine and reshape scholarship in organisational studies. It will be of relevance to researchers academics students and organizational professionals in the fields of organisation studies management studies cultural studies architecture and sociology.</p>
