Beyond Compare: Metaphor In Organization Theory
指出组织理论中流行的隐喻比较模型有缺陷，提出领域交互模型，认为隐喻是语义域的整体结合，产生创造性意义，并讨论其对组织理论研究的启示。
Despite the increased salience of metaphor in organization theory, current perspectives are flawed and misguided in assuming that metaphor can be explained with the so-called comparison model. I therefore outline an alternative model of metaphor understanding—the domains-interaction model—which suggests that metaphor involves the conjunction of whole semantic domains in which a correspondence between terms or concepts is constructed rather than deciphered and where the resulting image and meaning is creative. I also discuss implications of this model for organizational theorizing and research.
