I have sympathies with many of the arguments made by Dennis Tourish in his article, and I especially welcome his desire to restore more meaning and purpose to management research and his call for our writing to have humor, curiosity, and passion. But I cannot agree with all of his characterization of our discipline, hence, this response. My main point of disagreement is that I feel his account fails to sufficiently consider the diversity around our discipline, and those who populate it.I have sympathies with many of the arguments made by Dennis Tourish in his article, and I especially welcome his desire to restore more meaning and purpose to management research and his call for our writing to have humor, curiosity, and passion.
