项目摘要

Management and Organizational History (MOH) is an emerging research area that is developing new ways of understanding the role of organizations in society from a perspective of their historical evolution and embeddedness. While a historic turn has been discussed in organization studies since the 1990s (Clark & Rowlinson, 2004; Kieser, 1994; McDonald, 1996) it has only been in recent years that disillusionment with existing approaches to understanding the nature and purpose of organisations has led social scientists to engage more deeply with the insights from the humanities and specifically history (Durepos & Mills, 2012; Suddaby et al., 2010). However, the treatment of time, process and the unfolding of decision-making within the wider context of interest groups, ideas and power structures is often presented in organization studies through highly mechanistic and a-historical models which reflect long-standing theoretical and methodological differences between the social sciences and humanities. It is only in the last decade that a variety of scholars from history as well as organization studies have sought to bridge the interdisciplinary gap by either extending theoretical insights from recent developments in sociological theory (institutional theory, actor-network theory, and post-structuralist approaches) or codifying historical methodology (which has changed significantly in the past decades as a result of the post-modern challenge). This interdisciplinary project is beginning to consolidate under the name of MOH, and its evolution was significantly furthered by the creation of a new journal in 2004 by the same name. Recently there have been a number of publications (McLaren et al, forthcoming; Bucheli & Wadwhani, 2014) that are providing a new synthesis of the early research in the area. Most significantly among these is an article written by the team of investigators (Rowlinson, Hassard, Decker, forthcoming) that has been published by the major theory journal in management studies, Academy of Management Review (impact factor 7.8), which is likely to change the status of the field within business and management schools in the English-speaking world and beyond. Hence we believe that the time has come to review the various research streams that make up MOH. These seminars will bring together for the first time the leading academics from North America (Mills, Suddaby), the UK (Cook, Gabriel, Harvey, Hassard, Holt, McKinlay, Rowlinson) and continental Europe (Hansen, Mordhorst). These events will be central in consolidating and systematizing existing work and will facilitate the exploration of avenues for further investigation and methodological developments that will put the UK at the centre of an increasingly influential area of research.The seminars will focus on three intersecting themes, each under the leadership of one of the investigators:- Theory and practice of archiving (Stephanie Decker)- Organizational remembering (Michael Rowlinson)- New alternatives to organizational analysis (John Hassard)Six seminars will be hosted at different universities over a period of two years which will explore these themes separately and in interaction. Particularly the first two themes will engage non-academic users heavily, as it seeks to engage with the future of organizational archives for the UK's heritage. Moreover the seminar series will facilitate exchange with academics and non-academic partners in continental Europe by connecting some of the English-language research with research debates in other countries that have clusters of MOH research, such as Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy. The participation of CBS is thus a crucial factor for creating a network of researchers and practitioners that can explore avenues to gain European funding to support future research.

管理和组织历史（MOH）是一个新兴的研究领域，正在开发新的方法来理解组织在社会中的作用，从他们的历史演变和嵌入的角度。20世纪90年代以来，组织研究出现了历史性的转折，（Clark & Rowlinson，2004年; Kieser，1994年; McDonald，1996）只是在最近几年，对理解组织的性质和目的的现有方法的幻灭才导致社会科学家更深入地参与来自人文学科，特别是历史的见解（Durepos &米尔斯，二〇一二年; Suddaby等人，2010年）。然而，在组织研究中，在利益集团、思想和权力结构的更广泛背景下对时间、过程和决策的展开的处理往往是通过高度机械化和非历史的模型来呈现的，这些模型反映了社会科学和人文科学之间长期存在的理论和方法论差异。只是在过去的十年里，来自历史和组织研究的各种学者都试图通过从社会学理论（制度理论，行动者网络理论和后结构主义方法）的最新发展中扩展理论见解或编纂历史方法（由于后现代挑战，在过去几十年中发生了显着变化）来弥合跨学科的差距。这一跨学科项目开始以卫生部的名义得到巩固，2004年以同一名称创办了一份新的期刊，大大促进了其发展。最近有一些出版物（McLaren et al，即将出版; Bucheli & Wadwhani，2014）提供了该领域早期研究的新综合。其中最重要的是研究团队（Rowlinson，Hassard，德克尔，即将出版）撰写的一篇文章，该文章已在管理研究的主要理论期刊《管理评论学院》上发表（影响因子7.8），这可能会改变该领域在英语世界和其他地区的商学院和管理学院中的地位。因此，我们认为，现在是时候审查构成卫生部的各种研究流。这些研讨会将首次汇集来自北美（米尔斯，Suddaby），英国（库克，加布里埃尔，哈维，哈萨德，霍尔特，麦金莱，罗林森）和欧洲大陆（汉森，Mordhorst）的领先学者。这些活动将是巩固和系统化现有工作的核心，并将促进探索进一步调查和方法发展的途径，这将使英国成为一个越来越有影响力的研究领域的中心。研讨会将集中在三个交叉主题上，每个主题由一名调查人员领导：- 归档的理论和实践（斯蒂芬妮·德克尔）-组织记忆迈克尔·罗林森（Michael Rowlinson）：组织分析的新选择在两年的时间里，将在不同的大学举办六次研讨会，分别探讨这些主题，并进行互动。特别是前两个主题将大量吸引非学术用户，因为它旨在与英国遗产组织档案的未来接触。此外，系列研讨会将促进与欧洲大陆的学术界和非学术界合作伙伴的交流，将一些英语研究与其他国家的研究辩论联系起来，这些国家有卫生部研究集群，如丹麦、瑞典、荷兰、德国和意大利。因此，哥伦比亚广播公司的参与是建立研究人员和从业人员网络的一个关键因素，可以探索获得欧洲资助的途径，以支持未来的研究。
