Abstract

Th e book series of the Karlshochschule International University explores new ideas and approaches to management, organizations and economy from a cultural and interpretive point of view. Th e series intends to integrate diff erent perspectives towards economy, culture and society. Th erefore, management and organizational activities are not seen as being isolated from their context, but rather as contextbound and dependent on their surrounding cultures, societies and economies. Within these contexts, activities make sense through the allocation, the interpretation and the negotiation of meanings. Sense-making can be found in performative processes as well as the way social meaning is constructed through interactions. Th e series seeks innovative approaches, both in formulating new research questions and in developing adequate methodological research designs. We welcome contributions from diff erent interdisciplinary and collective ways of thinking and seeking knowledge which focus on the integration of "Management -Culture -Interpretation".
