Why do bodies matter in organisation and management studies and practice`?
Hello Wendelin --
I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean why does the number of employees (bodies) matter in organization and management studies and practice?
Hans Glimell at Gothenburg university (dpt of work studies and sociology) has written about this.
because organization is group of bodies, these bodies work together to achieve surplus. While so achieving, effective management is require. As a result management studies are.........................................
As I understand, that organization is a large community, well defined by its membership ( employees ) and structure ( organization structure ). Any team within the organization may be called a body. Organizational Teams / bodies are formed with specific purpose of achieving the desired objectives. Group of cohesive & interactive teams / bodies in key functional areas, may be assigned strategic roles in changing business environment to manage the available organizational resources to adapt,and yet to maintain competitive advantage. In that context, teams / bodies are important in organizational management practice.
Well...why wouldn't bodies of flesh and blood matter in organisations? In fact, the 'absence/presence' of the fleshy body in organisational studies is quite puzzling. Particularly because we take our bodies and our bodies take us everywhere! Last time I checked the outside of an organisation I did not see any tangible bodies parked outside with intangible minds walking in!
