Poetry and Organizing

Reviews / Votes

'As a lecturer, this book teaches you how to ignite the flame of creativity in your students. As a manager, it guides you to see beyond the facts, transcend norms and structures, and discover new ways of thinking, communicating, and organizing with humanity, integrity, and empathy. As a management scholar, this book encourages you to free yourself from predefined managerial terms, challenges you to set aside everything you've learned and redefines managerial theories by immersing yourself in the context, finding a poetic way to express your ideas without excluding others.' -- Hoda Jebellie, University of Teheran, Iran 'As a lecturer, this book teaches you how to ignite the flame of creativity in your students.

This is not merely a book about alternative ways to write-it's a proposition for revise of how we think about organization, the act of organizing, and the field of organization studies itself. Far from typical management texts that either idealize dominant paradigms or critique without alternatives, this work reimagines the very fabric of organizational studies, intertwining it with poetry. This book goes beyond questioning the status quo; it actively resists it, encouraging us to think, write, and organize differently. Here, poetry is not just a stylistic choice but a transformative force. In this book, Ilaria brings forward her deeply personal yet permeable experiences, Monika captures the complexity of organizing with charming eclecticism, and Emmanouela offers the resonant voice (and silence) of feminism. Somewhere within its pages, I realized I was smiling - not because the words were light or entertaining, but because I found myself within them.' -- Anna M. Gorska, Kozminski University, Poland 'Three spaces related to poetry are initially carved out: beauty and hope, potential and value, and affective, embodied, and cognitive experiences. When the poetry crafted by the authors later in this book reaches readers, it will surely disrupt these three spaces. With poetry, you never know; it defies any order. To this reader, however, it certainly disrupts the current regime of capitalism and management.' -- Tommy Jensen, Stockholm Business School, Sweden
