Tiivistelmä:It is argued that complex metaphors (henceforth as: m-phs.) in organization (here as: org/s.) theory consist of smaller primary m-phs. or metaphorical (as: m-phal.) parts. Using examples from organization theory, it is shown a. complex m-phs. are made up of primary m-phs. often grounded in our embodied experiences as human beings, and that b. complex m-phs. can be dynamically elaborated, extended and reinterpreted in new ways. Thus, m-phal. thought emerges from primary m-phs., evolving over time. This is a perspective which is more open to changes in the social construction of org/s. than the traditional view of stable 'root' categories of m-phal. thought of the org/s. theory.
