TY - GEN N2 - 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). The Content Introduction: Basic Questions of a Meaning-Theoretical Organization Research - Meaning: Operativity and Typicality - Communicables: Meaning Movements and Meaning Determinations The target groups Scholars - Teachers and students of sociology, cultural studies, communication studies, organizational sociology, and organizational and management studies - Organizational and management practitioners The author Dr. Thomas Drepper is a private lecturer and adjunct professor at the University of Lucerne. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
