La question principale de cette thèse peut être formulée ainsi : Comment les discours, normes et pratiques spatiales peuvent, dans le cadre d’une relation inter-organisationnelle, produire un bon comportement spatial des agents dans une relation de délégation ? Ancré en management stratégique, notre cadre théorique mobilise des approches issues de la géographie et le concept foucaldien de dispositif. La méthodologie de recherche déployée repose sur une étude de cas unique portant sur la gestion de la santé en région Centre-Val-de-Loire. L’analyse du matériau empirique fait ressortir la création d’une chaîne d’auto-régulation inter-organisationnelle permettant de propager ce dispositif reposant sur trois types d’espace, absolu, relatif et relationnel en donnant l’illusion à chacun des maillons qu’il est responsable de ses actions. Nous mettons aussi en évidence le caractère autonome du dispositif qui produit à la fois des marges de manœuvres pour les acteurs et des résultats parfois contre-productifs vis-à-vis de la politique initialement portée par le mandant. / The main question of this thesis can be formulated as follows: How can discourses, norms and spatial practices, in the context of inter-organisational relations, produce good spatial conduct of agents in a relation of delegation? Rooted in strategic management, our theoretical framework mobilise approaches from the domain of geography and the Foucauldian notion of dispositif. The methodology we used is based on a unique case study: the health system in the region of Centre-Valde- Loire. The analysis of the empirical material shows the creation of an inter-organisational self-regulation chain, enabling the dissemination of this dispositif based on three types of space (absolute, relative and relational) by giving the illusion to each one of these links that he is responsible for his actions. We also highlight the independent nature of the dispositif that can create room for manoeuvre for actors as well as results that are sometimes counter-productive with regard to the original policies of the mandator.

Those responsible for their professional education - including professors and Business Schools - have faced uncertain and complex contexts. The validity of management education programs has been increasingly questioned. This study aims to investigate the changes in the Business Administration field in Brazil after the 90 s; more specifically, it focuses on the knowledge involved in management education and on the agents and their respective institutions that provide this knowledge. This includes specifically the activities of professors and researchers engaged in Master's and Doctoral programs in Business Administration at Higher Education Institutions affiliated with the government agency called CAPES, a foundation whose central purpose is to coordinate efforts to improve the quality of higher education in Brazil. Therefore, this research was conducted based on the analysis of the structure of the field of these professors and researchers in Business Administration in Brazil after the 90 s. Pierre Bourdieu s theoretical and methodological apparatus was used due to the possibility of relational understanding of social space, where the agents - whose power is asymmetrically distributed - occupy and fight over positions. Several studies demonstrate the predominance of American authors in the Brazilian scientific production, which is, therefore, basically functionalist. On the other hand, around the 90 s, the American hegemony became refuted, especially by researchers who started to demonstrate greater intellectual independence to that traditional mainstream epistemology. This emerging group has been inspired by the Critical Management Studies (CMS), originated in the UK. The conclusion of the present study allowed the understanding of part of the oppositions and affinities that organize this field, its transformations, and the strategies of two rival groups of agents, constituting the arena of the organizational studies. On the other hand, although weakly adherent of the 'new entrants' denomination, the changes that took place after the 90 s can be said to be easily identified and often institutionalized. This study also revealed the intensified debates and systematization towards the construction of a particular epistemology of this discipline, which not only contribute to the improvement of the administrative theory, but also provides means to promote the future development of Business Administration. / O contexto da financeirização, da economia global e correspondentes empresas classe mundial , invocam constantes desafios aos gestores do século XXI. Os responsáveis por sua formação incluindo aí professores e Escolas de Negócios deparam-se, de forma análoga, com cenários complexos e incertos. Questionamentos sobre a validade dos modelos de formação de gestores são frequentes neste momento. O presente trabalho se propõe a investigar as transformações ocorridas no campo de estudos em Administração no Brasil pós anos 90. Mais exatamente, interessa-se pelo conhecimento que responde pela formação do gestor. Os agentes e respectivas instituições - que produzem este conhecimento constituem o foco da pesquisa. Consideramos como tal a atividade dos professores/ pesquisadores alocados nos programas de Mestrado e Doutorado dos cursos de Administração das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) que se filiam obrigatoriamente ao organismo governamental denominado Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), responsável por melhorias no ensino superior no Brasil. A pesquisa foi construída, portanto, em torno da análise da estrutura do campo desses professores/ pesquisadores em Administração no Brasil pós anos 90. Optamos pela utilização do aparato teórico-metodológico de Pierre Bourdieu pela possibilidade de apreensão relacional do espaço onde os agentes cujo poder é distribuído de forma assimétrica ocupam e lutam por posições. Diversos trabalhos demonstram a predominância de autores americanos a embasar a produção nacional que, consequentemente, termina por ter forte inclinação funcionalista. Por outro lado, em torno dos anos 90, a hegemonia americana passa a ser mais fortemente contestada, especialmente por pesquisadores que passam a demonstrar maior independência intelectual em relação às tradições epistemológicas do mainstream. A inspiração para este grupo emergente são os chamados Critical Management Studies (CMS) originados no Reino Unido. A conclusão da pesquisa permitiu apreender parte das oposições e afinidades que organizam o campo, suas transformações e as estratégias dos dois grupos de agentes rivais, constituindo a denominada arena dos estudos organizacionais. Por outro lado, mesmo pouco aderentes à denominação novos entrantes , podemos assumir que são claras e muitas das vezes institucionalizadas as transformações ocorridas no pós anos 90. A pesquisa evidenciou ainda o aumento de debates e sistematizações no sentido da construção de epistemologia específica da disciplina, que não apenas contribuem para o aperfeiçoamento da teoria administrativa como também apontam caminhos para os desenvolvimentos futuros da Administração.

The main aim of this thesis was to gather information concerning psychological aspects in the field of critical management from available sources and to introduce a reader- friendly survey of this topic at the same time. Basic terms were explained, as well as various psychological dispositions of critical staff members and, last but not least, fundamental forms of psychological assistance with regard to citizens in extreme life situations. The psychological awarness survey of both critical staff members and people affected, was carried out by means of a public survey. The idea behind was to demonstrate up-to date level of psychological awarness in particular regions of the Czech Republic.

This thesis addresses the paradigm shift required for an MBA qualification in a world order of inclusive globalisation (WOIG) – where humankind‟s security is assured, and where global poverty has been eradicated. A new research methodology, termed critical metasynthesis, which is the enrichment of critical management research with metasynthesis and Socrates‟ dialectic method of systematic inquiry has been used. The critical metasynthesis derives its outcome from the insights of global leaders from the developed and developing world, refuted by Nobel Laureates from the past decade. From the Socratic dialogue an end-purpose Statement of Visions for a new world order, society, business, business leadership, and the postmodern MBA emerged, namely: to deliver a WOIG; requiring a society that finds its greatness in protecting both its humanity and its economy as a whole; requiring world-class businesses – financially robust across business cycles, with global stewardship as the dominant business logic; requiring global business leaders with an ability to envision the WOIG, and then to lead thereto in an entrepreneurial and path-breaking manner exerting leadership qualities associated with the golden Rule of Humanity; requiring an MBA that educates and inspires the business leader to lead (and, to co-lead with societal and political leaders) the planetary turn-around to a WOIG. For this, a fundamental change of paradigm for the MBA emerged as a prerequisite. The first prerequisite is a Social Contract with Business as a trichotomy of global business responsibility towards society, politics and the Earth. This, becomes the raison d‟être of the postmodern MBA. The second prerequisite is an educational context aligned with the values and aspirations of a WOIG society. The outcome of the postmodern MBA is a fundamental personal re-orientation as thé kairos moment - through holistic critical reasoning excellence and achieving a WOIG mindset. Flowing from this to craft, build and to manage enterprises for the turn-around from today‟s world order of destructive globalisation to a WOIG. The thesis contributes a new educational context, vocabulary, and guidelines for a new canon of MBA knowledge. The thesis concludes by describing new vistas of follow-up research in four interlocking priorities for the professoriate, namely: discovering, integrating, applying and teaching a postmodern MBA in a WOIG – to deliver MBA graduates who can lead any business in any industry sector in any country towards positive sustained results for all stakeholders. / Business Leadership / D.B.L.
