这部开创性著作立足于一个影响深远的简单前提：所有组织和管理理论都建立在形象或隐喻的基础之上，并具有矛盾的效果——它们既能带来深刻的洞察，也能造成巨大的扭曲。在这部奠基性作品中，Gareth Morgan 向管理者展示了如何拓宽并深化对组织及组织问题的理解，以及如何利用强有力的新隐喻来塑造全新的工作方式。

Garth Morgan 写的《Images of Organization》（组织的意象）。我一开始以为它就是本假大空的商业畅销书，结果完全不是。每一页都充满了有趣的轶事、类比和洞见，而且不仅仅局限于企业生活，……
Images of Organization by Garth Morgan. I went in expecting a somewhat fluffy business book, but it is nothing of the sort. Every page is full of interesting anecdotes, analogies, and insights around not just corporate life,…

对这些隐喻的一个很好的探讨是 Gareth Morgan 的《Images of Organization》[1]。针对你说的这点，我个人最喜欢的是“组织即心灵监狱”——不是指在肉体上受到限制，而是指员工很难打破那些迷因（memes）……
A good exploration of these metaphors is Gareth Morgan's Images of Organization[1] . To your point, my personal favorite is "Organization as Psychic Prison" - not in the sense of keeping physically curtailed, but in the sense that it is hard for workers to break out of the memes…
从历史上看，从 Jay W. Forrester 的系统动力学（《Industrial Dynamics》）和 Gareth Morgan 的组织心理学（《Images of Organization》）切入是个不错的起点。然后你可以顺藤摸瓜去看更现代的研究，以获得更多洞见。
Historically, threads from systems theory via Jay W. Forrester (“Industrial Dynamics”) and organizational psychology via Gareth Morgan (“Images of Organization”) are good places to start. You can then trace them to more modern treatments for insights.
与其去研究怎么做一只逆来顺受的软柿子（噢，我的意思是，怎么通关行为面试），把时间花在读 G. Morgan 的《Images of Organization》上要有用得多。
Rather than studying how to be a good doormat (oh, I meant, how to master the behavioral interviews), it's a much better use of time to read the G. Morgan's "Images of Organization".
……把一个事物列为考量对象，并拥有一份考量该事物的“视角”清单，似乎是非常有价值的。应用于商业的同样方法论在 Gareth Morgan 的《Images of Organization》等书中有所描述。使用该技术进行决策的主要缺陷在于，必须将 n 维的考量空间映射到单一维度中，这可能会成问题甚至是做不到的。许多……
…a thing to be considered, and have a list of "lenses" through which to consider that thing, seems to be very valuable. The same methodology applied to businesses is described in e.g. Gareth Morgan's _Images of Organization_. The principle flaw of using that technique for decision making is that the n-dimensional consideration space has to be mapped into a single dimension, which can be problematic or impossible. Many…
