This autobiographical account describes and analyzes aspects of the life and work of a scholar in organizational science. The author begins the account by discussing his origins and early work experience in South Africa, then focuses on three of his publication projects that exemplify the processes he considers significant to his development as a scholar. In reflecting on his career to date, the author points out themes that may be useful for understanding his and other scholars' experiences. He concludes by criticizing the stifling effects of the pressures universities and journals exert on scholars today, and urges the consideration of alternate ways of creating and pursuing useful knowledge.
