Resumen de Reassembling Weber to reveal the-past-as-history in management and organization studies

Albert J. Mills, Terrance G. Weatherbee, Gabrielle Durepos

• The purpose of this article is to unravel the link between the past and history to reveal the importance and the problems of developing a historically informed critical management studies (Booth and Rowlinson, 2006; Kieser, 1994). Drawing on Munslow (2010), we focus on the relationship between �the past� and �history� as �ontologically dissonant� (p. 3) to argue for an �epistemically skeptical,� relational approach to critical organizational history. These arguments are explored through analysis of the �career� of Max Weber in management and organization studies (MOS).
