DESCRIPTION:Organization studies researchers have traditionally been good 
 at importing ideas from other areas of research but poor at exporting thei
 r own ideas to other fields. And even within the field of organization stu
 dies\, interest in organizations has decreased over the past decades as or
 ganization scholars have turned away from organizations to address such ot
 her phenomena as institutions or networks. Both developments are undermini
 ng the significance of organization studies as a distinctive field of rese
 arch\, the insights of which are necessary for understanding modern societ
 y. In order to strengthen concern for the particularities of organization 
 in social theorizing\, decisions should be moved back to the core of the f
 ield and the notion of organization should be extended beyond organization
 s.\n\nAll are welcome to attend!\nFree light lunch provided!\n\nBio:\nNils
