梳理了组织分析中关于隐喻的文献，综合了发展脉络并提炼趋势，指出该领域对隐喻含义的探讨不够深入，并分析了原因及对主流假设的启示，最后从人文视角提出研究路径。
This paper reviews the writing on metaphor in organizational analysis. It aims to synthesize developments and draw out trends. It argues that the implications of metaphor, as spelt out by poets, philosophers and linguists, do not seem to have been considered as fully as they might have been by many writers in organizational analysis. It explores possible reasons why this might be the case and what this suggests about dominant assumptions in the field. It concludes by looking at some avenues for research that arise from the study of metaphor from a more humanities-based perspective.
