The Aesthetics of Organization examines the possibility of developing an aesthetics of organization as a field of inquiry within organization studies. The authors delineate the parameters of the field by bringing together contributions of leading international theorists, which: explain how meaning and order become real in an organization; highlight methodological problems associated with investigations of the aesthetic; and facilitate understanding of the importance of recent ideas on vision, perspective and periphery for learning in organizations.
