Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the significant contributions of Carolyn Dexter through the lens of critical biography putting her work in the context of her life events and experiences. Critical biography is a qualitative method with which, social historians, research the individual scholar’s or practitioner’s critical incidents in life in order to explore and explain the subject’s scholarly development and intellectual contributions, situated in the social and historical background of the subject. Qualitative research and specifically critical biography are useful methods for providing context for management history. The current usefulness of Dexter’s work is demonstrated, and a case is made for her major contributions to increasing internationalization efforts in professional organizations, such as the Academy of Management and the Eastern Academy of Management, and today’s business schools, as well as the importance of mentorship to facilitating women’s careers. The limitation of author interpretation is recognized.
