Organizational Images
I am very passionate about using the arts to nurture reflections about organization and management theory. Inspired by the Sociological Images website, I have created these "Organizational Images," an archive (always expanding) of artistic work that which have helped me theorize and research organizations. I hope others might find it inspiring as well!
