Abstract

Since the 1980s postmodernist concepts—characterised by hostility to capitalism and ideals of economic progress and advocacy of philosophic positions that suggest all knowledge is a subjective social construct—have made much progress in business studies. In advancing postmodernist ideas, however, there has been a tendency to downplay direct inspiration from Foucault, Derrida, and Hayden White. This chapter suggests that although this path has been rewarded with publishing and career successes, it has also exposed methodological and theoretical problems. Major differences within postmodernist thought are ignored. New concepts—drawn from theorists such as Paul Ricoeur and Bruno Latour—are expounded, with little attempt being made to integrate such ideas with earlier frameworks.
