The power and politics tabu in organizational studies
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.4000/cp.8757Abstract
The general idea that organizations are wide opened terrain for power strategies and politic influenza bringing hidden agendas upon the table, doesn’t match the strangely shyness from the organizational researchers about the phenomena. This article set its goal on the main reasons behind this rare and shy theoretical and empirical production, overcoming that when ignoring the power and politic inevitability, we are hiding one of the most revealing and critical pieces of the organizational puzzle.
