The Organizational Imagination: From Paradigm Wars to Praxis
借鉴米尔斯的社会学想象力，呼吁组织研究更关注社会参与，通过组织想象力连接历史、结构与个人生活，推动学术与政治变革。
The authors use the insights of C. Wright Mills and his book The Sociological Imagination to argue for a more socially engaged organizational research. Although epistemological and methodological discussions about organizational research have opened up a space for alternate and critical theorizing, management scholarship needs to continue its search for effectiveness by developing an organizational imagination. This imagination will allow researchers to make linkages between history, structure, and individual lives in the service of an intellectual and political transformation. It will therefore push the boundaries of organizational theory to include an active engagement with the institutional forces that seek to contain and domesticate it.
