Introduction: Basic questions of a sense-theoretical organization research  -- Sense: Operativity and Typicity  -- Communicabilities: Sense Movements and Sense Determinations.

Sommario/riassunto

The present text discusses meaning-theoretical foundations of recent organizational research and makes them visible by analyzing epistemological terms of current discourses in organizational science (cognition, institution, practice, culture, communication, semantics). In a further step, communication is discussed as an operative guiding concept for understanding organizational reproduction and networking and applied to various organizational phenomena (managementization, standardization, circulation of ideas, translation, design). This book thus sees itself both as a contribution to theory development in organizational research and as a contribution to the research field of "(world) society and organization." Overall, the individual studies in this text discuss and explore the relevance of an epistemological, social and societal theoretical foundation of organization theory on the basis of an operative theory of meaning (German: Sinntheorie).
