I have found a review http://eight2late.wordpress.com/2013/05/07/a-stupidity-based-theory-of-organisations-a-paper-review/ an article http://www.hcamag.com/the-lighter-side/a-stupiditybased-theory-of-organisations-177391.aspx
and slides from the author http://www.lth.se/fileadmin/indek2013/program/Alvesson_functional_stupidity_scaIEM.pdf my corporate culture is absolutely synchronous with what is said, like on Groupthink. About Kuhn paradigm change resistance, it is not applicable to our domain, except maybe for finance and economics, but I won't name that science. ;-) it looks pure bashing, but it is important to understand that when the opinion of your peers is more important than the reality, then stupidity rules, and is productive. that is also the condition for groupthink... I think that with planetary groupthink, multinational network of stupid-ruled corporations, understanding groupthink dynamics, functional stupidity is important... In France we have a reference book called "les decisions absurdes" (no need to translate)... No relation with latest Swedish radio broadcast, as if there was a campaign to prevent people to believe in anticipated evidences (Coyaud, Gary wright, Giancarlo, and few blogs are waking up). Hopefully some Greeks and Armenian gave hope to them (pfff...) . 2014-05-27 14:54 GMT+02:00 Alain Sepeda <alain.sep...@gmail.com>: > After Finance and some other scientific subject, Cold fusion finished to > persuade me of the importance of Groupthink and similar Cognitive > Dysfunction in organization and groups > (like Benabou work > http://www.princeton.edu/~rbenabou/papers/Groupthink%20IOM%202012_07_02%20BW.pdf). > > > This paper's abstract seems to cover that subject > > http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/enhanced/doi/10.1111/j.1467-6486.2012.01072.x/ > > >
