19世纪末，在查尔斯·桑德斯·皮尔斯(Charles Sanders Peirce)、威廉·詹姆斯(William James)和约翰·杜威(John Dewey)等美国评论家的不同学术研究中，美国实用主义塑造了包括政治、教育、行政科学和宗教在内的一系列学科的许多学术潮流。尽管美国实用主义因其理论概念化而吸引了人们的注意和兴趣，但就其对改善人类状况的实际影响而言，美国实用主义努力保持其影响力，并经历了一段时间的中断，直到20世纪70年代在学术界经历了复兴。
尽管人们对美国实用主义的新兴趣持续增长，一些学者区分了古典实用主义、新实用主义和新实用主义，但直到最近，学者们才开始借鉴美国实用主义哲学，为当代组织生活的各个方面提供新的启示。这本编辑过的文集以一种引人入胜和学术的方式建立在这些新兴的文学之上。
《美国实用主义与组织》是一部开创性的著作，其独特之处在于它将美国实用主义作为分析组织的相关资源。它汇集了一个关注美国实用主义和组织现象之间的相互联系和相互作用的国际研究机构，探索了实用主义思维为理解组织提供的理论可能性，并阐明了这样做的实践优势。
Emerging during the late nineteenth century in the diverse scholarship of US commentators such as Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and John Dewey, American pragmatism shaped many intellectual currents within a range of disciplines including politics, education, administrative science and religion. Despite attracting attention and interest due to its conceptualization of theory, in terms of its practical consequences for improving the human condition, American pragmatism struggled to maintain its influence and suffered a hiatus until it experienced a renaissance within scholarly circles during the 1970s.
While renewed interest in American pragmatism continues to grow, with some scholars distinguishing between classical, neo and new forms of pragmatism, it is only relatively recently that organization studies scholars have drawn upon American pragmatist philosophies for shedding new light on aspects of contemporary organizational life. This edited collection builds on this emergent literature in an engaging and scholarly manner.
American Pragmatism and Organization is a ground-breaking collection and distinctive in its book-length treatment of American pragmatism as a relevant resource for analysing organisations. It draws together an international body of research focused on the interconnections and interplay between American pragmatism and organizational phenomena, explores the theoretical possibilities afforded by pragmatist thinking for understanding organization, and illuminates the practical advantages of doing so.
