“…Testing our conceptualization of organizational ideology and its role in promotion bias across different geographical contexts, including both developed regions as well as emerging economies, would be another important direction for future research. Across all societies, there are institutions and organizations that marginalize some and give advantage to others (Fotaki and Prasad 2015;Prasad 2016). Multi-level studies disentangling how these patterns of who gets promoted to the most powerful positions and who faces bias vary crossculturally.…”

Prior studies have made important strides in understanding the drivers of gender bias facing women at the top. Yet, relatively little is known about the intra-organizational power dynamics of how and why these patterns still persist despite a plethora of initiatives to redress the phenomenon over the last several decades. This paper develops an intraorganizational power perspective on the dynamics of promotion bias to destination positions. We propose that social dominance emerges as social categorization based on a candidate's visible and invisible markers leads to distorted perceptions and stereotyping which, when combined with group favoritism and conformity pressures within committee practices, engender the perceived degree of ideological asymmetry between the candidate and the organization. It is the magnitude of the perceived degree of ideological asymmetry that drives promotion bias. This bias has potent effects on the institutionalization of power over time. Our perspective ultimately offers new insights into the role of dominant organizational ideology and dynamics of biases that continue to limit promotion opportunities of women to destination positions.

“…Este posicionamiento hegemónico debería de ser cuestionable principalmente por su fracaso para reconocer el arraigo social de los mercados y la legitimación de la maximización de la riqueza como símbolo de éxito social (Levien & Paret, 2012;Polanyi, 2015). Sin embargo, la aceptación hegemónica ha resultado en una falta de crítica al sistema, principalmente impulsada por actividades de maximización de beneficios implacables y de la lógica del laissez-faire, excluyendo la posibilidad de una crítica significativa y la aparición de alternativas (Fotaki & Prasad, 2015).…”

Revista de Pensament i Anàlisi, 23, pp. 43-66. ResumenEl emprendimiento social es visualizado como alternativa para responder a las consecuencias que ha generado el neoliberalismo a nivel mundial. La revisión del concepto, desde una perspectiva axiológica y pragmática, por parte de algunos autores, demuestra que el emprendimiento social, lejos de ser una alternativa al neoliberalismo es una continuidad de este. El presente artículo estudia la relación que tiene el emprendimiento social y el neoliberalismo en función de los elementos ontológicos que lo conforman y las escuelas de pensamiento sobre las que se ha implementado. El resultado muestra las paradojas que presenta el concepto a nivel ontológico, y cómo los emprendimientos sociales desarrollados desde la escuela de economía social tienen una mayor capacidad de generar una ruptura con el sistema e ideología neoliberal; mientras que los emprendimientos desarrollados bajo el paraguas de la escuela de innovación social, tienden a generar una continuidad al neoliberalismo.Palabras clave: emprendimiento social, neoliberalismo, elementos ontológicos, escuelas de pensamiento. AbstractSocial entrepreneurship is visualized as an alternative to respond to the consequences generated by neoliberalism worldwide. The review of the concept, from an axiological and practical perspective by several authors, has shown that social entrepreneurship is an alternative to neoliberalism. This article studies the relationship between social entrepreneurship and neoliberalism regarding the ontological elements that make it up and the schools of thought on which it has implemented. The result shows the paradoxes that present the concept at the ontological level, and how the enterprises of the School of Economics have a higher capacity to generate a rupture with the neoliberal system and ideology; while

“…Writing should, for it to qualify as a tool of the cyborg, be offered as an overtly political act. From this purview, writing would be intended to dismantle the many social, political and economic injustices that currently prevail in society (and which are fostered by institutions such as business schools [Fotaki and Prasad, ]). This declaration is not intended to translate into mere recourse to a subjective position, for critical management studies scholars are all too familiar with critiques of objectivity.…”

Extending the works of scholars who have elucidated writing as the quintessential site for social transformation, the aim of this article is to locate the myriad possibilities for actualizing Donna Haraway's concept of cyborg writing in the field of organization studies. I contend that cyborg writing functions as a discursive mechanism by which to disrupt Enlightenment ideals of Cartesian duality, objectivity and rationality. These ideals inform the very structure of masculine privilege that emerge from having a society that is organized along androcentric values. Situating the scholarship of Jo Brewis, a contemporary scholar in the field, I illuminate how cyborg writing can be practised effectively, whereby greater richness is imparted into conceptualizations of, and theorizing on, organizational and management phenomena. I conclude with a discussion of the implications of cyborg writing, and with the identification of two trajectories that scholars can pursue in future studies. Progress along these two paths will move towards actualizing the feminist project for gender egalitarianism.
