Abstract: This paper is about a form of resistance, so far over glossed in the literature, which involves actors who overtly claim their wish to transform practices within their organizations, still without using the traditional resistance channels, such as unions or social movements. Despite pressures, and penalties in case of failure, managers of a multinational are daring to act against the good management recommended practices of their organization to launch a product which is less profitable than other options they could have considered.We are mobilizing the concept of productive resistance to account for this form that goes beyond subjective resistance, that is to say, the expression of the resistant's'identity.
