About the Book

Challenging Colonizing Logics within Management Research disrupts the assumption that the Western scientific method, with its emphasis on objectivity, measurement and categorizations is the best way to develop management knowledge. By reviewing the history of management as a discipline, Donna Ladkin exposes how colonizing logics have been ‘baked into’ the fabric of management practice and how it is studied.



The book offers alternative approaches to each stage of the research journey, demonstrating how working differently can produce management knowledge that reflects the nuances, tensions and dynamism present whenever humans undertake purposeful action together. Lived examples of research conducted in ways that move beyond colonizing logics bring this radical approach alive.



Researchers, students of management and leadership as well as practitioners who want to think differently about management will welcome this innovative and thought-provoking book.

Review :
‘This groundbreaking volume offers a bold and necessary challenge to the colonial foundations of management research. By interrogating dominant logics and advocating for more inclusive, contextually grounded approaches, the author paves the way for a richer, more ethical understanding of management. A must-read for scholars committed to decolonizing knowledge and expanding the horizons of management thought.’ ‘Anyone who hopes to do management research that goes beyond the exploitative tenets of colonialism that are deeply entrenched in so much of our thinking needs to read Donna Ladkin's breakthrough book Challenging Colonizing Logics within Management Research. The challenges of decolonizing our thinking and research approaches are immense, as Ladkin notes in the introduction, and yet to build a better world for humans and the rest of nature, doing just that is an imperative.’ ‘This book demands more than reading — it calls for transformation. As an Indigenous researcher, I found it both affirming and unsettling in vital ways. Don’t just take Professor Ladkin’s challenging of colonising logics on board — embody it.’ ‘This inspiring book looks at our world of management research through the laser sharp eyes of one of our field’s most iconoclastic thinkers, and one of its best writers. Donna Ladkin’s insights demolish the complacent colonialist logics that have reigned supreme and done so much damage – until now. I can’t recommend it strongly enough.’
