This symposium draws from the popularity and widespread use of Gareth Morgan's book, Images of Organization, to challenge the field of organization and management to develop new metaphors that capture the nature of contemporary organizational life, including new organizational forms, digital technologies, globalization, and rapid changes. Panelists will examine how metaphors work, features that make them stick, and ways of generating new metaphors. Presenters will also explore the potential of alternative metaphors, including affect, genetic code, organizational media, and deep societal logics of change.
