Description

Science fiction can be seen as a diagnosis of the present, and a vision of possible futures. Therefore, it provides an excellent resource with which to interrogate both contemporary organizing processes and organizations as institutions. The marginal activity of science fiction has however, been largely ignored in writing on organization theory. This international collection explores how science fiction can enrich studies of organization by drawing on perspectives across the arts and social sciences.
