Abstract
In September of 1995, I started the Ph.D. program in Organizational Studies at Boston College . The program was full time and relatively intense. At the end of the first year were qualifying examinations, which was quickly followed by a second year project culminating in a presentation of the project (The project was eventually published as [Taylor in Journal of Organizational Change Management 12: 524–539, 1999]) to the faculty and your fellow students at the end of year. So, when the summer of 1997 finally arrived, it was my first chance to do something other than run full speed ahead into organizational studies academia. It was my first chance to reflect. So, in order to make some sense of the last two hectic years as a doctoral student, I wrote a play, Capitalist Pigs.
