Over the last two decades, the field of management and organization studies (MOS) has successfully trespassed over several boundaries, enlarged its scope considerably, and invaded a number of territories all over the world. Many topics from most corners of the world have been "captured" by the field of MOS.rnOrganizations and management are a necessity of modernity. However, they are not a formal vessel receiving whatever content and molding it to a necessary form. There is a dialectical relationship between dominant orthodoxies, substantive experiences, and cultural, political, and economic specificities. The contemporaneous portfolio of possibilities in terms of organizations illustrates these dialectics, formally registered as public organizations, network organizations, virtual organizations, flexible organizations, hierarchical organizations, humane organizations, international organizations, learning organizations, public otganizations, postmodern organizations, fotdist organizations, modern organizations, and so forth. Correspondingly, the formal portfolio of possibilities in terms of management is registeted in discourses of international management, global management, transnational management, network management, public management, critical management, people management, project management, and so forth.
