Exploring Morgans Metaphors: Theory

Gareth Morgans monumental book, Images of Organization, revolutionized the field of organization theory. In honor of Morgans classic text, this edited volume, Exploring Morgans Metaphors: Theory, Research, and Practice in Organizational Studies, illustrates how Morgans eight metaphors inform research, practice, and organizational intervention in a variety of contexts. Including contributions from well-known experts in their fields, specifically, Joep Cornelisen, Cliff Oswick, David Grant, Hari Tsoukas, and Gareth Morgan, this new text offers fresh perspectives and sets forth new metaphors for conceptualizing organizations in todays workforce. Readers will gain insights and guidelines into the different ways that Morgans metaphors and metaphorical thinking can be used to better understand organizational life, as well as how to study and develop organizations.
