This is important as it challenges us to focus on the processes of organizing and to resist nominalizations that often constrain our ability to understand the dynamic and fluid nature of organizational phenomena. It is no coincidence either that we are encouraged to think about reassembling. Sometimes, our discourses also have broader significance in society, either constraining or enabling. How we assemble, dissemble or reassamble our objects of research, has fundamental effects on what we can see or point to in and around organizations. We need to acknowledge that through our theorizing and empirical work, we talk organizations into being. With reassembling, the conference organizers also want to promote reflexivity among organization scholars.

While there are varieties of social constructionism and scholars tend to disagree what social construction means, we are all encouraged to reflect upon how the very phenomena we study are constructed in and through institutions, networks, practices, discourses, and so forth. As a metaphor, reassembling reminds me about the importance of social construction as a central ontological and epistemological point of departure in contemporary organization studies. As with any conference theme, the metaphor of reassembling should not constrain our thinking, but inspire our imagination. Such in-depth reflection is characteristic of Nordic organization studies – as we can see in this year’s conference program. Thus, from the passions of creativity and innovation and waves of globalization, we turn to reflections about the very nature of organizations. The theme of the Colloquium is reassembling organizations.
