这篇评论文章表明，福柯的生物权力讲座的英文出版物，生物政治学的诞生（2008），可能有助于扩展我们对组织权力关系如何在过去20年中发生变化的理解。与约束和界定个人的纪律权力不同，生物权力的概念强调我们的生活能力和工作外的品质（bios或“生命本身”）现在是剥削的主要对象-特别是在新自由主义下。生物政治一词的引入是为了分析最近关于生物能源症状的工作场所经验的报告。最后，批判性地评估了组织理论化的生物动力的概念弱点，以帮助发展未来学术的想法。
This review article suggests the English publication of Foucault’s lectures on biopower, The Birth of Biopolitics (2008), might be useful for extending our understandings of how organizational power relations have changed over the last 20 years. Unlike disciplinary power, which constrains and delimits individuals, the concept of biopower emphasizes how our life abilities and extra-work qualities (bios or ‘life itself’) are now key objects of exploitation – particularly under neoliberalism. The term biocracy is introduced to analyse recent reports on workplace experiences symptomatic of biopower. Finally, the conceptual weaknesses of biopower for organizational theorizing are critically evaluated to help develop the idea for future scholarship.
