Management, decolonial history and literature: Macunaíma as anthropophagic literary personage to (re)think criticism in Management and Organization Studies (MOS)

Given the asymmetric context of power in the production of knowledge and the institutional perpetuation of coloniality in the area of Management and Organization Studies (MOS), our reflection in this article presents two general contributions based on the articulation between the disciplines of mana...

We propose to think about critical epistemological projects that understand the epistemic mismatch between the Global North and the Global South. We argue that the construct: management in reverse and without character - provides a theoretical potential for the interpretation of management practiced in the Global South, which comprises elements such as the non-identity; conflicting and ambiguous modern/colonial “place”; in addition to reverberating anthropophagic traits demarcating tropical management through transculturation, flexibility, adaptability, and miscibility.
