Critical managament theory as critical action learning inbusiness organistions in the State or Kuwait

Abstract EN

We argued for an approach, broadly informed by Critical Theory (CT) that acknowledges and explores commonalties between CT and progressive elements in management and organisation studies.

In this paper, we explore further the relevance and impact of Critical Action Learning (CAL) for people working in organisations-academics and students as well as practitioners-who are potential agents of (micro) emancipatory transformation in the State of Kuwait.

An important task and contribution of Critical Management Theory (CMT), we argue, is to promote a more systematic and critical consideration of the contexts of organisational work in the State of Kuwait ; and to strengthen resistance to pressures to comply with the respecified logic of functional imperatives and the demands of corporate conventional wisdom.
