Beskrivning
Metaphors for organization and management have been a subject of strong interest in the area of organizational studies since the 1980s. Metaphors enhance the understanding of organizations and provide a mechanism for critiquing current practices, increasing effectiveness, and improving communication. The Oxford Handbook of Metaphor in Organization Studies provides a comprehensive reference for researchers, educators, and managers. The book comprises twenty-nine chapters, which are authored by over forty contributors, many of whom have played major roles in the development of the field over the years. The theoretical underpinnings of organizational metaphors are explored. An array of metaphorical contexts for understanding management and organizations is presented. The various uses of metaphor as a tool in research, education, and management are addressed, as are the limitations of metaphors. Finally, future research directions related to metaphors in organizational studies and management are proposed.

Recensioner i media

The birth of Conceptual Metaphor Theory in 1980 has given rise to decades of careful cross-cultural analysis of how our abstract conceptualization and reasoning are profoundly shaped by deep systematic metaphors. This present volume incisively investigates the underlying metaphors that frame our understanding of the structures, practices, and values of our organizations, management operations, and research practices. The chapters develop both an analytic posture and also a critical perspective on the uses of those metaphors as they affect people's lives and wellbeing.
