Seize the Day: Organizational Studies Can and Should Make a Difference
The organizational sciences have an unprecedented opportunity to generate information that is useful to organizations and can make a difference in how organizations evolve and in the quality of life of people. The transition to a "post-industrial" global knowledge economy is accompanied by fundamental change in organizations, for which there is no roadmap. Organizations are literally reinventing themselves, and in the process are creating new challenges, opportunities, and problems for employees. The organizational sciences need to contribute to the organizational design and redesign processes that are shaping our institutions of the future. This will only happen if organizational research is conducted in a manner that connects with the problems that organizations are facing, that brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, and that creates a relationship between researchers and practitioners that enables mutual perspective taking.
