Editing Organization studies (section)

==History==
It has followed numerous 'turns' since its emergence in the 1960s: linguistic turn, spatial turn, practice turn, process turn, materiality turn, communication turn... A turn is a collective direction of research, focused on some coherent sets of concepts, theories, and ideas, which represent a point of bifurcation for the field itself. Most turns in organization studies relate to broader ones in social sciences and humanities. Researchers studying organizations and/or organizing processes have a recurring concern that those who work in organizations do not find organizational research particularly relevant. There is therefore a growing interest in the impact of organization studies.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=MacIntosh|first1=Robert|last2=Beech|first2=Nic|last3=Bartunek|first3=Jean|author3-link= Jean M.

Public administrations also, around the world, are adopting massively new organizational models to increase their efficiency and improve public services. The Organization Studies field is becoming more popular also because the borders between a well-defined organization and customers, citizens, businesses, and professionals are more and more undefined. For example, [[social organization]] has been the subject of study in Spatio-temporal cohesiveness in human network theory.<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-68125-0_113?noAccess=true |publisher=springer.com| series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science | year=2008 | doi=10.1007/978-3-540-68125-0_113 | last1=Yoo | first1=Jin Soung | last2=Hwang | first2=Joengmin | title=Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining | chapter=A Framework for Discovering Spatio-temporal Cohesive Networks | volume=5012 | pages=1056–1061 | isbn=978-3-540-68124-3 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Casalino|first=N.|date=2014|title=Learning to Connect: a Training Model for Public Sector on Advanced E-Government Services and Inter-Organizational Cooperation|journal=International Journal of Advanced Corporate Learning |language=en|volume=7|issue=1|pages=24–31|issn=1867-5565|doi=10.3991/ijac.v7i1.3577|doi-access=free}}</ref>

With the recent historical turn, there is growing interest in historical organization studies, promising a closer union between organizational and historical research whose validity derives from historical veracity and conceptual rigor, enhancing understanding of historical, contemporary and future-directed social realities.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Maclean|first1=Mairi|last2=Harvey|first2=Charles|last3=Clegg|first3=Stewart R.|date=2016-10-01|title=Conceptualizing Historical Organization Studies|url=http://amr.aom.org/content/41/4/609|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=41|issue=4|pages=609–632|doi=10.5465/amr.2014.0133|issn=0363-7425|hdl=10453/41332|hdl-access=free}}</ref> Organizational studies as a discipline is also closely related to [[metacognition|metathinking]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Shannon |first1=Nick |last2=Frischherz |first2=Bruno |title=Metathinking - The Art and Practice of Transformational Thinking |date=2020 |pages=175–176 |publisher=Springer Cham |doi=10.1007/978-3-030-41064-3 |isbn=978-3-030-41064-3 |s2cid=242428640 |url=https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-41064-3#about-book-content}}</ref>
