Abstract
This introductory chapter outlines the rationale for the book, indicating its relationship to its companion volume, The Oxford Handbook of Sociology and Organization Studies: Classical Foundations, and charting its own particular intellectual raison d’être, organization, structure, and content. Whereas the earlier volume aimed to renew awareness of the rich heritage bequeathed organization studies by pre-1950 sociology, the current text seeks to strengthen ties between organization studies and contemporary sociological and social theoretical work. While the first volume sought to remedy the field’s tendency to amnesia, this successor volume targets its increasing tendency to myopia. The text is therefore dedicated to showing how key contemporary authors, schools, and ideas in sociology and social theory can and do enrich the study of organizations, and how a deeper engagement with these contemporary currents could further enhance the explanatory power and reach of work in organization studies.
