“…According to Meister-Scheytt and Scheytt (2005), the university is an organizational type characterized by an exceptional degree of complexity. Universities interrelate with many, perhaps all, subsystems of society and are influenced by a great number of factors such as politics, the economy, culture, ethics, morals, science, art, religion, among others (Luhmann, 1987, Gent, 2009.…”

In the organizational field, one type of organization stands out from the more common: organizations with dispersed powers. The objectives of this article are to bring together the fragmented literature on organizations with dispersed powers and demonstrate the need for new governance models for such organizations. Correspondingly, we set out the characteristics of organizations with dispersed power and their management features as well as considering the current realities they face, highlighting the growing need for new governance models. Subsequently, we approach the issue of stakeholders in organizations with dispersed powers with this route put forward as a means to develop new governance models for this organizational category. The management literature abounds with studies on traditional business entities while organizations with dispersed powers have received very little attention from the academic community, primarily due to their inherent complexity.

“…Furthermore, other works that have used Freire’s ideas in management classrooms are usually restricted to describing isolated pedagogical experiences (e.g. Dal Magro et al, 2020; Gent, 2009). Most works within CME have centered their efforts mainly on elaborating new forms of pedagogic methods to be applied in BS classrooms (Contu, 2009), thus often leaving aside a deeper analysis of the oppressive nature of management scholarship.…”

Management scholarship faces a challenge in maintaining relevance, as it struggles to influence and shape practices that address pressing societal problems such as social inequalities and environmental degradation. While critical management education has surfaced as a promising avenue for reshaping management practices, it has yet to realize its potential. This article aims to address this relevance crisis by examining the limits of critical management education, particularly through the lens of Freire’s contributions. By recognizing coloniality as a crucial institutional constraint that underlies various forms of oppression, we gain insights into the barriers hindering our relevance. Overseeing this constraint is troubling within business schools, often viewed as colonial endeavors. Consequently, these insights shed light on our circumstances and limitations in producing social change. In response, we suggest reframing critical management education as a form of critical performativity informed by Freire’s insights. In this light, knowledge serves as a catalyst for change, empowered by its relational, responsible, and provocative validity. By embracing Freire’s principles of thematic investigation, thematization, and problematization, we provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing academic oppressions as a fundamental step in the quest for social change, offering valuable insights for future research and interventions in critical management education and beyond.
