TOWARD AN AGENDA OF RADICAL ORGANIZING - INTRODUCTION TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE

This paper introduces and contextualises the collection of papers that constitute the special issue on organizational crisis. In contradicti on to mainstream notions of organizational crisis as a change that thr eatens the existence, growth or profitability of an organization, the term is here defined as the widespread existence of organizational pro cesses that routinely reproduce ethnocentric, gendered, and other anti -human practices that continually recreate organizational environments as (social) psychologically damaging sites of human interaction. Poin ting to the persistence of organizational realities and the relative a bsence of alternative theories of organizing, the paper outlines the c ontours of a radical theory of organization.
