Having been an unofficial archivist of Organization over the last 20 years, in this essay I offer a selection of stories from the archive as a tribute to the journal’s 30th anniversary. I draw the stories mainly from the journal’s backstage, hidden archive (comprising old documents, interviews, and observation), but also to a lesser extent from its public (i.e. published) facet (comprising editorials and journal papers). The stories concern the journal’s relationship with Sage, its efforts to internationalise, the evolution of its archive in relation to the journal community, and the preservation of its critical intellectual mission. Altogether, these stories offer insights for the journal’s collective memory and hope for remaking its future.

In this article, I celebrate and discuss Organization’s contributions to the conversation between organization studies and works of art, such as literary fiction, poetry, film, etc. I take this critical conversation forward by highlighting several ways in which such works of art expand meanings for our research, and I then build on this to call for expanding understandings of “who matters” in our engagement with the arts and in our scholarship. In particular, I argue for the case of works of art from/of/about the Global South as an opportunity to take our critical project forward, tracing the promising but complex contours that one is likely to encounter in traversing this relatively unchartered terrain. I conclude by building on this discussion to suggest doing art and being ourselves through art as a part of our conversation with the arts in the role of academic activists and as a means of resistance to current oppressive systems.

The study of work is central to understanding how changes in organizations and their environments impact lives and livelihoods. While industrial sociology and its concern with the organization of work are foundational to management and organization studies, scholars have bemoaned the waning interest in work and its evolution within these fields. In this article we seek to re-energize this tradition, arguing that Critical Management Studies (CMS) and Industrial Relations (IR)—two disciplines whose core interests concern work and its changing nature—have much to gain from further cross-fertilization. As Organization becomes a recognized platform for scholarship on the organization of work, we submit that more could be done to bring IR’s intellectual legacy into CMS approaches, and that doing so will yield mutual benefits. We focus here on IR’s core concerns with rules and regulatory frameworks, and collectivities over individualities. Similarly, IR can benefit from integrating and building on insights developed in CMS. We argue that CMS as a whole offers lessons for IR in at least three ways: (i) the emphasis on cultural dominance over workers; (ii) recognition of social and identity-based fault lines that define life and work experiences; and (iii) attention to the social construction of subjectivities. In closing, we suggest four areas that cross-fertilization between IR and CMS is likely to greatly contribute to: resistance in late capitalism, alternative organizations, inclusion, and the “future of work.”

This essay encourages fellow scholars to consider critical organizational studies of post-human technologies. While these nascent technologies hold many promises, they also risk exacerbating several unacceptable organizational features that have been regularly documented, discussed and combated in Organization over the past 30 years. These features include, among other evils, corporate domination and colonization; further erosion of organic solidarity; entrenchment of inegalitarian imaginaries; and impoverished lifeworlds oriented toward instrumental efficiency alone. In order to steer them democratically, we need reflexive empirical studies of post-human technologies in connection with big societal issues.

This editorial introduces the special issue celebrating 30 years of Organization. We first reflect on the continued relevance of our mission against the background of a management and organization studies field that is at once more open to the themes, epistemologies and methodologies we care about, and more dominated by a market logic and surveillance enforced through datafication technologies. Amidst this contradictory condition, we ask ourselves the important questions: What difference can we make and how do we best make it? We then renew our commitment to curating a space of epistemic pluralism, caring for our transnational, inclusive community and nourishing a political project of hope. For each of these ambitions, we mention the concrete actions we have been taking and those we plan to take in the near future. We conclude with an invitation to our readers, reviewers, board members and associate editors to participate in all activities ahead of us to build Organization further.

In this short piece, I want to reflect on the status, relevance and future of the academic journal. They emerged at a point when middle class European men were beginning to produce a cumulative body of knowledge using paper technologies, editorial boards and professional associations to legitimate their discoveries. Three hundred years later, the global university system, the financial interests of global knowledge corporations, and the occupational interests of university workers has supported a huge explosion of journals as markers of status, providers of data about who writes and who cites, and profitable ways of extracting value from university library budgets. This journal, though it has published much which is critical about such a system, is entirely parasitic on this set of financial and occupational interests. As Organization enters its fourth decade, might it be possible to be clearer concerning what services it provides and for who? If we think of it, as my mother-in-law once presciently suggested, as a magazine, can we be more explicit about what stories and features we are selling, and who our readers are? In other words, should we try to be more magazine?

Despite its long-standing interest in alternative economies and decolonization, Organization’s pages have seen little attention to Indigenous organizing. The journal’s 30th anniversary is the occasion to call for a remedy for this deficit. This piece outlines the trajectory, future research, and possibilities of learning from Indigenous organizing, and calls for contributions that bring together Organization’s established interest in alternative economies and decolonization with a consideration of Indigenous organizing especially as that is embodied in Indigenous entrepreneurship. Paying attention to the features of Indigenous agency in enterprising, broadly conceived, would enlarge understanding of that vital but neglected topic and contribute to the unsettling of orthodox assumptions about management and organization that Organization takes pride in.

The founders of Organization include Marta Calás and Linda Smircich who are among the most influential feminist theorists in organization studies. We take inspiration from their work to outline ideas for feminist and other critical scholars studying organizations and organizing. We draw especially on their consistent interest in transnational feminism, engagement with feminist new materialisms, and emphasis on epistemological and ontological questions about (feminist) organization studies. We highlight key theoretical points and show how feminism(s) can remain socially, societally, and globally meaningful. Our aim is to continue to create feminist organization theorizing that, as Calás and Smircich’s scholarship does, remains critical and vigilant about who its knowers are, what kind of knowledge it produces, and what this knowledge is for.

Drawing on histories and contemporary critiques of white feminism in and outside academia, I ask how white feminism might operate in feminist organisation studies and what we might do to address privilege, hierarchy and exclusions.

In this essay, I draw on the concept of biosocial organizing to propose a biosocial turn in organization research. In recent years, Organization has seen an increase in articles and special issues on the organizational dimension of agriculture, food and the environment as major challenges and opportunities for our scientific community and global societies. These contributions participated towards moving the critical thinking of Organization beyond traditional concepts in management such as sustainable development or corporate social and environmental responsibility, in which the environment, living entities and nature are seen, at best, as contexts. However, the number of these works is still limited and the subject deserves further empirical and theoretical research. Much more is needed to promote the contribution of critical organization studies to these challenges, to account for the complexity of phenomena – such as climate change or biodiversity losses – from an organizational point of view, and to learn more about the impacts of studying these topics on new modes of organizing.
