Abstract:
Copernicus's revolution is a philosophical change that questions the existence of humanity in the universe, as opposed to the belief; he claims that the Sun is the center of the universe, not the Earth. Rather than questioning a different perspective, believing in a dogmatic knowledge is a simple way to escape. Critical Management Studies (CMS), like Copernicus's revolution, has an ambitious goal on management theory and practice. CMS offers a number of alternatives to the current system by expressing more than critical thinking. It focuses on the impacts of management on the traditional labor force and production factors and it focuses on organizing the differences between theory and practice. The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to explore the evolution of CMS and its diffusion in project management studies and construction management studies. Bibliometric analysis is chosen as the research method, in the citation networks that emerged using the VOSviewer program, 11 most cited articles from the 283 center documents underlie the basis of the study. In the study, the citation relations of the articles are examined in terms of author, document, country, and keyword. The results of the research indicate that (1) CMS is still in the process of embryotic stage of its development, (2) the diffusion of CMS in project management studies and construction management literature have been limited and (3) the calls for pluralistic approach in construction management studies have not been addressed in literature. Keywords: Critical Management Studies, CMS, Critical Construction Management Studies, Critical Project Management Studies, CCMS, CPMS, VOSviewer.
