Conceptualizing Organization: Studies in Philosophy, Sociology and History 2017 This thesis comprises a selection of refereed journal articles published during my career as a business and management academic. It includes what I consider to be among the best crafted, although not necessarily most cited, or highly ranked, of my papers. In all, twelve pieces have been chosen for submission, and these are grouped under the headings organizational philosophy, organizational sociology, and organizational history. The contributions made by these publications, together with details of citation levels and associated awards, are discussed in the review of works. In these pieces – as in other journal articles, research monographs, chapters in edited collections, special journal issues, and conference and seminar papers (see Appendix) – I have contributed to debates, for example, in actor-network theory, historiography, labour process theory, managerial work, postmodernism, sociological paradigms, and temporality.
