ABSTRACT

Orgology is primarily a reasoned analysis of the principles that determine the survival of organizations. It analyses how organizations choose their resources, allocate and implement them, and how they build universes of meaning. It examines the consequences of these choices and the benefits in terms of legitimacy and competition. Orgology integrates readily the sociological dimensions of the individuals by their age, education, gender, social and cultural heritage and strives to explain multiple phenomena by adding to these traditional analyses the particularities of the organizations individuals. Management is a concrete expression of orgology, located in an organization and applied locally. Management is part and parcel of any organized human activity and varies in its goals and expressions. Critics of management denounce its practices as enslavement, degradation and the worship of empty idols. It is the enslavement of worker by worker; employment situations provide daily opportunities to inflict harm, or to harass and torture others.
