ABSTRACT
In the field of management and organization studies (MOS), the "panopticon" is a central
iconic notion that has long fueled academic discussions.
This paper is an effort to expand
on the theoretical debate that has taken place over the last decade by critically reviewing
the practical research of the Panopticon management style and the role it places in
the
workplace today.
This study elucidates several theoretical avenues that management and
organization experts can pursue in order to make sense of this inconsistency and
complexity. Deleuze, Haggerty, Ericson, and Zuboff are just
a
have done critical
few of the theorists who
work on the power structures in contemporary network
organizations
and how surveillance either preserves or destroys them. The findings of this research
confirm that the panopticon is a divisive and unappealing idea that is challenging to
execute in the w
orkplace. T
the
contribution that this study will make is to provide a novel
viewpoint on Bentham's Panopticon and to suggest that the management of a broad range
of modern businesses may benefit from adopting this organizational structure
