Rationale: What is Process Organization Studies? Process Organization Studies (PROS) is a way of studying organizations that is grounded on process metaphysics – the worldview that sees processes, rather than substances, as the basic forms of the universe. A process view:

Rests on a relational ontology, a performative epistemology, and a dynamic praxeology.
• Focuses on becoming, change, and flux, and pays particular attention to forms of agency  
• Prioritizes process over outcome, activity over product, change over persistence, novelty over stasis, open-endedness over determination.
• Invites us to acknowledge, rather than reduce, the complexity of the world and, in that sense, it is animated by what philosopher Stephen Toulmin called an “ecological style” of thinking
