| Abstract: | Ironic enough, given the requirement for rebellious creativity, organizations discourage individuality. Cases of creative rebellion include the seeds of an informed criticism of the dominant management paradigm. The conventional notion of efficiency is questioned. The concept of moral efficiency is explained. The explored cases describe and analyze: 1. Refusal to concur with the findings of an aircraft accident report covering up senior officer management weakness, 2. Falsification of data to overcome the dysfunctional impact of a management information system (MIS). A deconstruction of these stories suggests theoretical and practical tension btw. the dominant normative management paradigm and the way in which an innovative perspective of individual ethics moves toward adaptive solutions to hardly solvable problems. |
