His books on postmodern theory of management and organization continue to be widely cited: Managing in the Postmodern World: America's Revolution Against Exploitation (1993, 2000 with Bob Dennehy) and Postmodern Management and Organizational Theory (1996 with Robert Gephart & Tojo Thatchenkery).

A current book project, Critical Theory for Business and Public Administration Ethics (expected publication in 2007), applies the critical theory work of Frankfurt scholars (Adorno, Benjamin, Fromm, Horkheimer, Marcuse) to ethics. The book calls for an ethics of answerability (a Bakhtinian critical theory perspective) to business and public administration, which currently has non-answerable ethics in business and public administration (i.e., ethics of conviction in its content and formal ethics approaches is unanswerable to changing the root causes of systemic ethical failures).

 

Professor Boje continues to have an active presence in international scholarship. He was keynote speaker at the Discourse as well as Storytelling conferences in the United Kingdom, and has been a visiting scholar/speaker at universities in the United States (e.g., Rhode Island), in Europe (Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, and the United Kingdom) as well as down under (Australia & New Zealand).
