CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON ACCOUNTING, 2013, vol. 24, issue 3, 225-227

Abstract: This essay highlights Richard Laughlin's contribution to the theorization of organizations using elements of Habermas's critical social theory. Specifically it discusses an early paper – Laughlin (1987) – and suggest how this shapes a cumulative programme of work to operationalise Habermas's key ideas at the organizational level.
