Time and Reflexivity in Organization Studies: An Introduction

Abstract

The theme of this collection of essays arose from the broader theme of the American Academy of Management 2000 Conference in Toronto on `A New Time'. The five short papers included here, plus one by Christopher Grey (University of Cambridge) were presented at a special (All Academy) symposium, under the title `Organization Studies: It's Time for Reflection', organized by Elena Antonacopoulou. Following on from the discussion that ensued at the symposium and the comments made by the guest editors, five out of the initial six presenters revised their contributions and the symposium theme evolved into the present `Time and Reflexivity in Organization Studies'.
