| Abstract: | Meaning-giving has been explained as a categorization process of matching stimuli against prototypes. The applicability of such a view to organizations is explored by focusing on a central component of the perspective prototypes. A phenomenological design is used to uncover the content of organizational prototypes.Data collected from a sample of managers in the financial industry demonstrate the utility of the prototype notion, indicating that further exploration is warranted of how organizations are categorized. |
