Replying to LO4972 --

Morgan's work is superb but not always connected to the mindset of
practitioners. When teaching OB, I used Morgan's book "Imaginization"
(1993) rather than his earlier (1986) "Images of Organization". The
latter seems completely conceptual whereas the former includes cases and
is written for practitioners rather than academics. A few students had
problems with "Imaginization" but I never confronted the hostility you
describe from down under.

Regards,

Tony DiBella
