Image, Imagination, Imaginaries: A Genealogy of Imago-Concepts in Organisational Research
The concept of ‘imaginaries’ has gained prominence as a lens for examining how collective orientations shape social and organisational action; yet the meaning of this concept and its relation to neighbouring notions has become so diffuse as to call into question its analytical potential. Addressing…

Toward a Theory of Organizationality: A Gradual View on Collective Actorhood
This paper addresses a central dilemma in organizational theory: how to conceptualize organization in a way sufficiently specific to distinguish it from other social phenomena yet sufficiently flexible to account for new organizational forms. Traditionally, there has been a split between scholars…

Stakeholder Governance and Inequality: A Theory of Reciprocal Exchange
Inequality emerges from the uneven sharing of endowments across society, highlighting the distributional role of firms. The stakeholder governance literature advances effective value allocation and fairness of exchange relationships, but limited attention is paid to societal distributional…

The Purpose of Crisis Management: Normative Directions for a Care-Based Approach
Crisis management has been on the agenda of organization and management scholars for decades, but normative debate on the ethics of crisis management is rare. Most studies implicitly aim for minimal disruption of organizational functioning and a rapid restoration of the status quo, prioritizing…

“Catalysing & Crystallizing” and “Conversations & Controversies”: Facilitating Debate in
Since its inception in 2020, Organization Theory has sought to provide an open and inclusive space for theorizing – a space that explicitly embraces diversity and paradigmatic plurality. In this editorial essay, we introduce a new section of the journal, “Catalysing & Crystallizing,” and outline…

Modeling Corporate Sustainability Change: A Deweyan Pragmatist Alternative
Progressing toward corporate sustainability requires organizational change, but how should we conceptualize its nature and dynamics? To date, the literature has modeled corporate change processes primarily through prescriptive notions of sustainability transformation. By treating sustainability…

What Do We Mean by Democracy in Management and Organization Studies?
Democracy is a key concept in management and organization studies (MOS), but it is often not explicitly theorized. In this article, we draw on political theory to show how democracy can be clearly integrated in MOS and how this integration opens up a new and important research agenda. We provide an…

Beyond Human Democratic Organizing: Posthuman Affirmations
Organizational democracy is often grounded in humanist assumptions—such as individual rights, rational agency, and procedural equality—while overlooking the ecological and material entanglements that sustain both organizations and life itself. Framing this humanist foundation as the “…

The Construction of the Organizational Object in Organization Studies: An Invitation to Epistemic Reflexivity with Bourdieu
With reflexivity becoming an increasingly important theme in organization studies (OS), this article extends an invitation to consider how researcher reflexivity can become a conceptual resource for developing organizational research designs. Engaging with and adding to current theoretical debates…

Moral Selves: Organizational character and the pursuit of purpose
What makes some organizations stay the course with their social and environmental commitments while others, in the face of political adversity and shifting stakeholder views, do not? In this paper, we argue that the answer to this question lies in capturing the differences in character between…

Call it What You Want, Just Not an Institution
Nigam, Amis and Logue use the case of Taylor Swift to argue that “individual people can become institutions” (p. 2). Although we share their admiration of Taylor Swift and agree that much can be learned through serious research on Swift, she is not an institution, nor should individuals be…

People as Institutions or Why Taylor Swift Rules the World
Drawing on Taylor Swift as an example, we propose that people, as individuals rather than as representatives of an office, can become institutions. We propose that an individual can become a focal point around which a distinctive and enduring set of roles and repertoire of interactions across roles…

The Organizational Ontology of Person-Institutions
This commentary responds to the theorization of individuals as institutions, arguing that person-institutions are an outcome of person-brands. We contend that the ontology of person-brands impedes their full institutionalization due to inherent fallibility, instability and the ongoing management…

The Reproduction and Evolution of Institutional Logics: A practice-centric perspective
The institutional logics perspective has been one of the most prominent theories within organization and management research. It bridges different levels of analysis and explains how culture both enables and constrains collective and individual actors. Yet, despite abundant research on…

Nothing is Right in Individual and Collective Action: Placing unknowability at the heart of theorizing through rhetoric
The world is fuelled by tensions, contradictions and dilemmas that cannot be solved, or where both the solution and the problems are unknown. Organizing in this milieu requires a theory for a world that is unknowable and still needs to be managed. We argue that such a theory can be built by drawing…

Generative Resistance: The importance of enabling differences
Within the organizational change literature, resistance is often treated in ways that tether it to change as its shadow side and, consequently, minimize its value. In contrast to prior approaches, we offer a generative approach to theorizing resistance to change—one that suggests important…

Law as Logic
The work of a triumvirate of social thinkers – Adam Ferguson, Bruno Latour and Roger Friedland – is used to argue for the ontological centrality of law to the construction of human societies. Confirming its place as a central institutional order supports the contention by Roger Friedland that the…

Paradoxical Theorizing: A multimodal approach to generate new theory
Over three decades ago, Marshall Scott Poole and Andrew Van de Ven proposed using paradoxes to develop more rigorous and robust organizational theories. We reignite their efforts while offering two important advances. First, we introduce to their initial ideas the expanding paradox literature to…

Revisiting Exploration and Exploitation: Temporal structuring for innovation at work
Classical views on organizing for innovation suggest that exploration and exploitation can be balanced in ambidextrous organizations by first separating and then integrating the two. In this paper, we argue that exploration and exploitation can be intertwined to foster ongoing, distributed…

The Future Looks Bright: Toward a Dialectical Understanding of the Future in the Strategy-Making Process
While the future is unknowable, this intriguing temporal category has become a predominant issue in modern discourse. However, less is known about how actors navigate tensions and contradictions that arise when engaging with the future in strategy-making. This gap is problematic, as unresolved…
