Latest Scholarly Book Published – Critical management studies in South Africa: Directions and contexts
Editor: Geoff A. Goldman
The scholarly book titled, Critical management studies in South Africa: Directions and contexts, has been published by AOSIS Scholarly Books.
This book shows how Critical Management Studies (CMS) scholarship is starting to develop a character of its own in South Africa. It attests to CMS slowly gaining momentum and acquiring an identity of its own amongst South African scholars. However, management studies in South Africa is dominated by capitalist ideology and positivist methodology.

Scholarship outside the domain of capitalist thinking, such as critical scholarship, remains sorely underexplored.

This book is promoting CMS to the scholarly community, to show that there are exciting possibilities being offered by a different approach to management scholarship. Read more.
