The Organization Studies track at CLADEA aims to constitute a plural space for
debate on organizations, organizing, and organizational processes in their
multiple manifestations interdisciplinary tradition, it
welcomes interpretive, critical, historical, institutional, cultural, political, and
practice-based approaches that examine how collective action is produced,
stabilized, contested, and transformed in concrete contexts. Consistent with
CLADEA’s Latin American vocation, the focus lies on organizations embedded
in realities marked by structural inequalities, institutional heterogeneity, and
hybrid economies. The track encourages research on how power, identity,
knowledge, technology, work, territory, sustainability, and governance are
configured in the Global South, and how organizational theories circulate, are
appropriated, translated, and contested in Latin America. The track also
promotes reflection on the production of knowledge in Organizational Studies,
understanding the field as a space of dialogue, controversy, and collective
construction rather than merely the application of analytical models. It seeks to
articulate theoretical rigor, contextual sensitivity, and social relevance, thereby
advancing the field through perspectives rooted in Latin American experiences
and in dialogue with international debates.
