Given that organisations are an inescapable part or all our lives it becomes important that we develop an understanding of what they are and how they work (or do not work). The lecture programme has emphasized the idea that organisations are not a single entity and that making sense of them requires us to examine them through a variety of theoretical perspectives as well as our own perceptual lens. This postmodern understanding argues that organisations are socially constructed phenomena, so questions like; ‘what the organisation is’, ‘why it is there’ and ‘how it works (or doesn’t)’ and ‘why’, should be addressed from these different, but interrelated theoretical constructs.

An additional implication of the postmodern understanding is that the person making sense, (you), must acknowledge their own influence on the sense making process, that is, you are also involved in socially constructing the organisation even as an analyst, and are not examining it from a distance. This will involve you in a consideration of your own background and life experience. You are encouraged to offer insights of your own, and given that we are understanding organisations as any community of people, large or small and with whatever purpose, you should use your own experience. This may include any organisations of which you have experience, for example; part time or full time work, schools and other educational establishments, leisure time organisations, political organisations.

Making Sense of Organizations

This essay aims to make sense of organizations by critically drawing in Morgan ’ s metaphors based on personal perceptual lens and supporting them with personal experiences and contemporary examples . In the first section , the essay briefly introduces postmodern understanding of organizations as socially constructed phenomena , which provides a basis for the discussion of Morgan ‘ s metaphors ; In the second section , the metaphors of organizations as machines , organizations as organisms , organizations as brains and organizations as culture are discussed in detail and supported with examples . In the conclusion, the essay draws together the metaphors discussed above and suggests to understand organizations as human-beings , which is inclusive as it summarizes the metaphors discussed .

According to the viewpoint of postmodern understanding , organization is a socially constructed phenomenon that the notion of organization can not be simply described without understanding its connection to social context ( Meznar and Nicolini , 1995 ) , including historical background , political surrounding , cultural ambience , sociological environment and so on ( Morgan , 1996 ) . The social constuctionism argument explains the existence of a wide diversity of definitions and opinions on what the organization is, which depend on theoretical perspectives taken to examine organizations, as well as perceptual lens of person making sense of organizations ( Morgan , 1996 ) .

This essay makes sense of organizations by critically choosing Morgan ‘ s metaphors based on my personal lens which is framed by past cognition and experiences . Meanwhile , contemporary examples are used to illustrate the metaphors . Metaphor is an effective tool as ‘ it gives us the opportunity to stretch our thinking and deepen our understanding , thereby allowing us to see things in new ways and to act in new ways ’ ( Morgan ,1998 , p . 5 ) . However , it is worth noting that metaphor results in distortions when it goes extremely , for instance , the suicide tragedy resulted from Foxconn’s extreme mechanistic model . Additionally , according to Morgan ( 1998 , p . 6 ) , ‘ metaphor is inherently paradoxical , as the way of seeing created through a metaphor becomes a way of not seeing ’ . Thus , it is important to realize that each metaphor only accounts partial nature of organizations . Besides , there is no single theory to fully explains the organizations as socially constructed phenomena . Thus , based on the above discussion , I think it is possible to propose a broad metaphor that includes some of Morgan’s metaphors chosen by this essay , which is organizations as human-beings . Specifically , when considering a organization as a human-being , it is a organism (organizations as organism) with mechanistic function (organizations as machines) and it has a brain (organizations as brains ) and an unique personality (organizations as culture).
