The paper analyzes management practices as reflexive practices based on transactive knowledge (Brauner, 2002). It relates the concept of transactive knowledge systems to central concepts of structuration theory (Giddens, 1984), namely structuration and the duality of structure.

Results are now set into a theoretical perspective. Ideal types of sexual emancipated an...

The discovery of common themes is a step toward the identification of any dominant orthodoxy within the knowledge ma...
