The transition from viewing organizations as bureaucracies toward
seeing them in metaphoric terms is a contemporary break with past
organizational theory. But to investigate the similarities between
real organizations and the metaphors describing their functions and
context, a shift in both methods of inquiry and organizational
theory must take place. The original essays in this volume explore
the paradigm shift at three levels: (1) an overview of historical
roots; (2) an explication of terminology, metaphors, and
constructs; and (3) the practical application of these new
organizational inquiry methods, especially for actual research
practices and policy analysis applications. "An up-to-date picture
of what is going on in the field. . . . Worth reading if one has a
serious interest in organizations." --European Journal of
Operational Research
