| Abstract: | This theory-development study of the quality circle management focuses on three features of management- knowledge entrepreneurs' discourse promoting or discrediting such fashions -- its lifecycle, forces triggering stages in its lifecycle, and the type of collective learning it fostered. Results suggest, first, that variability in when different types of knowledge entrepreneurs begin, continue, and stop promoting fashions explains variability in their lifecycles. |
