Metaphors for organization and management have been a subject of strong interest in the area of organizational studies since the 1980s. Metaphors enhance the understanding of organizations and provide a mechanism for critiquing current practices, increasing effectiveness, and improving communication. The Oxford Handbook of Metaphor in Organization Studies provides a comprehensive reference for researchers, educators, and managers. The book comprises twenty-nine chapters, which are authored by over forty contributors, many of whom have played major roles in the development of the field over the years. The theoretical underpinnings of organizational metaphors are explored. An array of metaphorical contexts for understanding management and organizations is presented. The various uses of metaphor as a tool in research, education, and management are addressed, as are the limitations of metaphors. Finally, future research directions related to metaphors in organizational studies and management are proposed.

Anders Örtenblad is Professor of Working Life Science at the University of Agder, Norway. While the majority of his career has been based in the Nordic countries, he has also worked elsewhere including three years in China. He has edited numerous books and journals, including The Oxford Handbook of the Learning Organization (OUP, 2019), and has previously edited various works on metaphor in organization studies with Linda L. Putnam and Kiran Trehan.
