The Awakening of Critical Management Studies in France: Mimicry or a Process of Coming Out?
Résumé
In contrast to Scandinavia and countries like the United Kingdom and Australia, the emergence of Critical Management Studies (CMS) in France is a relatively recent phenomenon. This rather delayed development is made all the more enigmatic by the fact that CMS is a field that has drawn on French critical theory, as is clear, for example, from the heavy reliance on the work of Bourdieu, Foucault, Deleuze, Lacan and Derrida in research from the English-speaking world.
