Abstract
Rooted in the philosophic tradition of American pragmatism, symbolic interaction with its emphases on studying group life in the making represents a distinctively sociological approach to organizational dynamics. After establishing both a theoretical and methodological frame for the text that follows, this chapter addresses management as a realm of tactical interchange. This chapter establishes the theoretical foundation upon which our analysis of management activities rests. Although some may be tempted to embark on an analysis of management in more substantively-specific terms, it is vital to establish the interactionist terms of reference for this venture. Correspondingly, the material that follows attends to generic themes within the symbolic interactionist tradition that are essential for framing management activities. By so doing, we begin the work of capturing management in the making as a trans-contextual feature of everyday life.
