International Process Symposium

10th International Process Symposium

Kratki naziv: PROS 2018

Lokacija: Porto Carras Grand Resort, Halkidiki, Greece , Souli, Greece

20-23 June 2018, Porto Carras Grand Resort, Halkidiki, Greece, Theme: About Time: Temporality and History in Organization Studies

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

Purpose, Venue, and Organization
