The present text delves into the sense-theoretical foundations of recent organizational research, shedding light on its epistemological terms through an analysis of current discourses in organizational science. It further explores communication as a guiding concept for understanding organizational reproduction and networking, applying it to various organizational phenomena such as managementization, standardization, circulation of ideas, translation, and design. This book aims to contribute to both theory development in organizational research and the research field of (world) society and organization. It examines the relevance of an epistemological, social, and societal foundation of organization theory based on an operational theory of meaning. The text has been translated from its original German edition using artificial intelligence (machine translation by DeepL.com) and has undergone a subsequent human revision to ensure stylistic coherence.
