This is a book about knowledge and how it is organized. The business
school has captured ideas about organization, and reduced them to
questions of formal structures, documented processes, logistics and
operations. This book shows how the concept can be understood more
generously by illuminating the fundamental importance of culture to
our understanding of organization. Using the idea of a cabinet of
curiosities, the author shows how we can learn a lot about authority
from choirs of angels, about secrecy from shipping containers, or work
from art galleries. In disorganizing categories, forcing unusual
conjunctions, the work opens itself to organization studies and
studies of organizing, as well as cultural sociology, human geography,
and social theory. Bringing together arguments developed over the last
two decades, this book brings together and updates work that will
provide a unique and valuable reference for students and scholars of
management and organization around the world.
