The origins of organizing are conventionally seen as emerging from
the historiographical works of Western social scientists in the
early 20th century. Here, the authors address a gap in current
literature by exploring previously unrecognized or marginalized
global origins in both modern and ancient history. This innovative
collection of original, research-based work covers a variety of
historical epochs and theoretical streams from ancient
civilizations to modern movements in philosophy and the social
sciences. Among other topics, the chapters evaluate ideas of
organizing by Quakers, 16th-century Jesuits and communities in the
Roman Empire and ancient China. The authors creatively and
insightfully engage with the historiography and philosophy of
organizing, presenting alternatives to the dominant Western-focused
development of organizational theory and practice. Origins of
Organizing is significant in expanding the field of organizational
theory to incorporate key examples that move away from mainstream
and traditional perspectives. It will serve as a complementary text
for graduate students in the fields of organization theory,
management history and critical management studies. Contributors
include: J. Bento da Silva, C. Bettin, M. Brigham, G. Burrell, P.
Case, B. Czarniawska, W. Dai, H. Gaggiotti, I. Iordanou, D.
Kavanagh, M. Kostera, P. Krzyworzeka, A.J. Mills, T. Peltonen
