Rumbling on performativity_Frits Simon

This chapter is a prelude on four chapters, which are part of my research. Being involved
in my research as a researcher, an exploration of my taken for granted assumptions,
which undeniable influenced my research from the onset, will be the subject of
the next chapter. What follows are three chapters, including narratives based on my
experiences with a project on identity-management, on the internal process of developing
performance agreements and on a discussion about the potential of constructive
dissent for organizational development. The narratives in the different chapters
are followed by reflections and analyses. These reflections and analyses are provoked
by discussions in the learning group and by reading upon scientific literature. In the
final chapter I will retake the methodological and ethical issues from this second
chapter, together with a reflection on my contribution to the field of OMS, more
specifically with regard to the UAS.
