1.0 Introduction 介绍
组织研究作为社会科学的一部分,其涉及到非常广泛的领域,也受到众多学者的关注。有许多不同的研究方法,如解构、实证、形而上学和隐喻学、解释学等。还有一些基础贡献文本,就像三月和西蒙的组织,雅克德里达的语法学等。这篇短文着重于分析方法论“解构组织”论文采用的方法。它是由马丁·基尔杜夫在20世纪90年代初期写的。1993年,这篇文章被刊登在《管理学院评论》上。为了分析本文的研究方法,短文主要分为五个部分。第一部分是关于马丁·基尔杜夫文本的研究过程;第二部分回顾了马丁·基尔杜夫论文中所使用的主要文献;第三部分是关于马丁·基尔杜夫文本的主要方法;第四部分关注核心问题:解构主义方法,第五部分是整个论文的简短摘要。在本文的推理过程中,主要采用案例法和比较分析法两种推理方法,解构法也是本文的重点,但并不是本文的第一主题。
Organizational studies, as part of social science, cover very wide fields and have also been concerned by so many different scholars. There are so many different researching methods, such as deconstruction, positivist, metaphysical and metaphorical, hermeneutic etc. There are also some foundational contribution texts, just like March and Simon’s Organizations, Jacques Derrida’s Of Grammatology etc. This short essay focuses on analyzing the methodological approach adopted by the paper of “Deconstructing Organizations”. It was written by Martin Kilduff at the initial stage of 1990s. In 1993, this text has been printed out in The Academy of Management Review. For analyzing the methodological approach of this text, there are five main parts in these short essays. Part one is about the researching process of Martin Kilduff’s text; Part two reviews the main literatures used in the paper of Martin Kilduff; Part three is about the main methodologies of Martin Kilduff’s text; Part four concerns about the core topic: deconstructive approach and part five is a short summary of the whole paper. In the reasoning process of this short essay, case approach and comparative analysis will be used as two main reasoning methods and deconstructive approach is also the focusing topic of this short essay, but it is not the first topic in this paper.
2.0 Research process of ‘Deconstructing Organizations’ 解构组织的研究过程
The same as the topic, core content of Martin Kilduff’s text is “deconstructing organizations”, which occupies over 60% text’s length. Before the core part, Martin Kilduff introduced deconstruction briefly and following the core part, Martin Kilduff summarized the limits of the text. In the process of illustrating deconstructing organizations, Martin Kilduff made the analysis from following aspects: the structure of presence and absence, programming the body and programming the mind, the organization as writing machine, the ideology of programming, the unanticipated consequences of programmed organizations and a confessional tale. All of these composing and writing is for, just utilizing Martin Kilduff’s original words --- “my motive for this deconstruction is not only to exposes textual limitation, but also to permanently change the way the text is used in management education and research.”
For achieving this objective, at the beginning of the text, Martin Kilduff did not specially emphasizes or illustrated deconstruction or deconstructing organizations, but strongly commend March and Simon’s Organizations from this text’s contribution in the area of organizational studies. After praising about March and Simon’s text, Martin Kilduff put forward the key object out of this paper as “a dissenting perspective”. Martin Kilduff used this “dissenting perspective” to “reevaluate the appearance of progress in organizational theory”. And then in the following part, Martin Kilduff interpreted “deconstruction” in detail with the supporting of so many different scholars’ studies. In the process of illustrating “deconstruction”, Martin Kilduff first defined the position of Jacques Derrida in organizational studies, just like “the most influential post-structuralist philosopher” and “extravagantly convoluted” (Agger, 1991). For Martin Kilduff’s understanding about Jacques Derrida’s text, deconstruction is one writing way. In the article of Jacques Derrida, deconstruction is used to question the relation and presentation way of different concepts in one text; it is one way to open the conflicting relationships in the internal part of the text for the readers. Then deconstr
