A Change of Episteme for Organizations: A Lesson from Solaris
从科幻小说《索拉里斯星》出发,提出组织思维需要转变认知方式,以理解当代组织中有限与无限力量的冲突,并引入“赛博组织逻辑”概念,从表征、数字编码、模拟和时间四个维度进行阐述。
The article stems from a science fiction classic: Solaris, by Stanislaw Lem. The novel enables the authors to suggest a change of episteme needed in organizational thinking in order to grasp the kind of relationships that define our present. Relationships both in the novel and in organizations have to do with the clash between finite and unlimited-finite strengths. The authors use the concept of `logic of cyborganization' to refer to the features this new setting has in present organizations. It is possible to review such logic through four considerations: (i) it moves away from the logic of representation; (ii) its condition of possibility is digital codification; (iii) its sufficient condition is simulation; (iv) it questions time as a principle of intelligibility.
