MANAGEMENT IN THE GLOBAL “RISK SOCIETY”: RE-CONSIDERING RATIONALITY, TECHNOLOGY AND CONTROL

Abstract

In the nineteenth century, the comparative method was seen as essential, if not fundamental, to growth and production of knowledge in the human sciences. However, over time the categories that formed the basis of nineteenth century comparative research (civilized: savage for example) were discredited. And so, in time, was the comparative method itself.
