CSOC sponsored a professional development workshop at the University of Missouri in October of 2010. The aim of the workshop was to provide an overview of qualitative methods and psychoanalytic concepts for those interested in organizational research. An excerpt of the presentation is provided below.
“This article has been a theoretical inquiry into the “one big happy family fantasy”—a situation that we faced when attempting conflict transformation in a natural spaces of encounter.”
“The article thus argues that LTCM behaved irrationally and seeks an explanation for this by turning to the concept of narcissism, developed by psychoanalysis and its application to organizational dynamics.”
