abstract = {There is consensus in literature that transparency (accurate and honest reporting) in management and business research is desirable. To improve transparency, commentators have stressed that research articles contain detail about procedural replicability, thus allowing for results reproducibility, at least (in the case of samples) across multiple trials. For all its merit, such advice neglects the particularised role of language in conveying scientific findings. This article argues that embracing positivist epistemology in management and business research entails adhering to linguistic standards. It is through such adherence that transparency is realised.},

Weaver, it resurrects an ancient distinction between noble and base language and combines this distinction with a linguistic hierarchy. Noble language culminates in and gives voice to optimal executive performance; as such, it is the ideal language of executive coaching. Contributions to theory and research, practical and educational implications, and a call to action are outlined.},

abstract = {In the conformity and obedience studies of Asch and Milgram, legitimate authority is defined as a form of power to which subjects submit irrationally. This view assumes a causative process which the subjects' behaviour is said to

manifest. Furthermore, this view assumes that there is illegitimate (or malevolent) authority. Carl J. Friedrich's theory of authority as reasoned elaboration offers an alternative perspective, which reveals conceptual differences between

authority and such related constructs as power and legitimacy. When these concepts are properly distinguished, a re-interpretation

of the classical studies of conformity and

obedience is called forth. Such an exercise produces insights into some of the discipline's most controversial, if not disturbing, results. Specifically, it leads to an understanding of

laboratory conformity and obedience in rational terms.},

ethical values have been justified by appeals to intuition expressed injunctively and

judged to be obligatory. This tradition has led to ethical relativism and a widespread

scepticism about the possibility of basing ethics on reasoning. There are, however,

alternative strategies for ethical justification in which conclusions are derived deductively

from purposive propositions. This essay revisits the notion of reason, purpose

and ethical justification in management to outline a purposive ethics for managers.

The implications for management practice and relevance for management researchers

of such an ethics are presented and defended.},

abstract = {The article argues first that March's study exemplifies the ?physics envy? typical of management and organisation studies scholars since the early 1960s. Second, evidence is presented that March's conclusions, irrespective of their legacy on management and organisation studies, were not developed along and were not consistent with the foundations that March espoused and advocated during most of his career. As a result, the implications of his conclusions are uncertain. To his credit, however, there are reasons to believe that, towards the end of his career, March came to recognise the limitations of his scholarship. Further, he indicated an alternative avenue for organisation studies which eschews the

shortcomings of positivist and post-modern research.},

abstract = {Managerialism, as an ideology and management practice, is grounded on a theory of authority. Such grounding has been neglected in the relevant literature since scholars have generally treated authority as a form of power and have ignored the view that authority is also a source of power. Following a review of the construct of authority as it appears in the works of noted social psychologists and critical management authors, this essay argues that Carl Friedrich's theory of authority as reasoned elaboration reveals two manifestations: authoritativeness and authoritarianism. It is argued here that managerialism draws on authoritarian ideas and practices, whereas management, as traditionally conceived, draws on authoritativeness. To promote authoritative management, therefore, is to resist (authoritarian) managerialism since authority redirects power to technical experts and professional colleagues and thereby limits managerial power.},

abstract = {The purpose of this article is to provide insight into how leaders obtain their power through language use. The thesis defended is that, at its best, the language of power in leadership activates specific linguistic functions in prescribed ways. This thesis draws on three subordinate arguments. First, to the extent that leadership is a relationship resting on voluntary obedience, it is through a process of authorisation that leaders obtain their power. Second, the way language functions are instantiated in communication determines whether social interactions are authoritative or authoritarian. The view advanced is that noble language characterises the former, base language the latter. Third and consequently, the power of leaders develops from their use of noble language. Contrasting examples illuminate this article's thesis. An agenda for leadership research and education is then outlined.},

abstract = {Theory production has been a central focus of management research for decades, mostly because theory legitimizes both management research and, through its application, management practice as professional endeavors. However, such an emphasis on theory glosses over one of its constraining and particularized roles in scientific explanation, namely that theory codifies predictive knowledge. Committing to theory a ?traditional' or ?critical' understanding of theory, thus amounts to embracing the view that prediction is achievable within a circumscribed field of study. Such an embrace is non-controversial in natural science. However, within the realm of management studies, it necessitates and smuggles in a strawman view of human existence, one which does not accommodate freedom and responsibility. This limitation of management theory explains its inadequate utility. This article argues that alternative avenues for management research exist.},
