EGOS is a scholarly association which aims to further the theoretical and/or empirical advancement of knowledge about organizations, organizing and the contexts in which organizations operate.
It has an associated journal – Organization Studies – and holds an annual conference (EGOS Colloquium) in July.

 

 

Diversity and plurality

 

EGOS has its identity and intellectual roots in the social sciences. It encourages an analytical and theoretical approach towards organizations.

EGOS embraces diversity of all kinds including a pluralistic approach to understanding organizations from the perspective of the social sciences (such as sociology, social history, political science, psychology and anthropology) as well as the humanities (such as philosophy, discourse analysis, literary criticism and rhetoric).

 

 

Exploring research at the forefront of knowledge

 

EGOS emphasizes broad themes as well as issue-based research.

The association provides a forum for identifying and discussing key issues in organizational theory and practice.
Critical refection on the most recent ideas and theoretical approaches is at the core of the association's activities.

EGOS, moreover, offers a stimulating intellectual environment for younger scholars, running well-attended PhD and post-doctoral workshops at the beginning of the annual EGOS Colloquium.
