Gaining a better understanding of the way organizations work through
the study of the symbols connected to them is the subject of Studying
Organizational Symbolism. Michael Owen Jones briefly discusses the
most obvious symbolic aspects of organizations--corporate logos,
office sizes, use of titles--but focuses on the less obvious but
crucial aspect of expressive forms of symbolism--storytelling,
institutional jargon, and workplace personalization, among others.
Jones carefully defines organizational symbolism and then explains the
various methodologies that assist the researcher in documenting it.
Finally, he examines the symbolism inherent in doing research on
organizations. Researchers interested in any facet of organizational
studies will find Studying Organizational Symbolism to be a useful and
necessary guide.
