Management Philosophy Group Day Conference

Management Philosophy Group Day Conference: The Relevance of Critical Management Studies

Researchers in the Management Philosophy Group at Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy are concerned with drawing on the various resources of philosophy to comprehend and criticise management in many different ways. On Thursday 21 January 2010 members of the group will present their current research in an open forum to which members of Copenhagen Business School and the general public are invited. This day conference will represent some of the work taking place in the group and will give a sense of both the diversity of the research done and also what unites the project of seeking philosophically informed understandings of management.

Special Guest is Professor Mats Alvesson from University of Lund, Sweden, who introduces to the theme.
