There is a body of organizational knowledge that offers insight and reflection over the practices of organizing. Yet most of the curricula steer clear of it, insisting on propagating modernist ideas of control and masculine ideas of mastery. Is it because the new ideals are not yet in place or because reflection over practice is not seen as worth propagating? What kind of organization theory is needed at present and by whom? Are students, managers, and organization researchers interested in the same kind of topics? Rather than providing answers, the essay aims at opening a debate.
