Juliette Koning
Professor of Business in Society, Maastricht University.
I am a Social Anthropologist and an Indonesian & Southeast Asian Studies specialist who turned to Organization and Management Studies in 2010.
Juliette's research focusses on human interaction (the dynamics between and structure in its broadest sense) and my theorising is social theory driven. Her interpretive ethnographic approach sees organizational actors as knowledgeable agents embedded in historical and institutional settings. Organizations are viewed in terms of life-worlds comprising of everyday practices and processes of managing, organising, sense making and meaning making. She is, in particular intrigued by the complexities and dynamics of ‘how things work’ as well as by studying the relationship between organizations and the external environment.
