This is a conference dedicated to the premise that organization studies can be revitalized by renewed engagement with the classics of sociology, key texts that have stood the test of time. A set of distinguished scholars has agreed to serve as conference speakers. Each will prepare a paper on a set of ideas from the classics of organizational sociology, addressing in each case (a) the ideas in their historical and intellectual context, (b) the impact of these ideas on the field of organization studies so far, and (c) the possibilities for future research inspired by these ideas. The papers are not to be mere surveys but, rather, creative assessments offering sharply defined points of view. The resulting set of papers will be made available in draft form on the web and, in final form, in a published volume.The conference will consist mainly of discussion of the draft papers in a format that will enable critique and contribution by an interdisciplinary audience of organization scientists. In addition to the speakers and some invited discussants, the conference will be open to other interested faculty and graduate students. It will be held in the days just after the National Academy of Management meetings and just before the American Sociology Association meetings on the east coast, so as to encourage participation by both these key research communities. It is anticipated that graduate students will particularly benefit from participation in these discussions and from interaction with the senior scholars who attend. NSF's funding will enable ten graduate students to travel to participate. In addition, the papers will be of value for doctoral education as they will synthesize and integrate perspectives on organizations as well as because they will suggest promising pathways for future research.

这次会议致力于这样一个前提：通过重新接触社会学经典和经受时间考验的关键文本，可以重振组织研究。 一些杰出的学者已同意担任会议发言人。 每个人都将准备一篇关于组织社会学经典中的一系列思想的论文，在每种情况下讨论（a）其历史和知识背景中的思想，（b）这些思想迄今为止对组织研究领域的影响，以及（c）受这些思想启发的未来研究的可能性。这些论文不仅仅是调查，而是提供明确观点的创造性评估。由此产生的论文集将以草稿形式在网络上发布，并以最终形式出版。会议将主要包括对论文草稿的讨论，其形式将使组织科学家的跨学科受众能够提出批评和贡献。 除了演讲者和一些受邀讨论者之外，会议还将向其他感兴趣的教师和研究生开放。会议将在美国国家管理学院会议之后和美国社会学协会在东海岸举行的会议之前举行，以鼓励这两个主要研究团体的参与。 预计研究生将特别受益于参与这些讨论以及与参加会议的资深学者的互动。 NSF 的资金将使十名研究生能够前往参加。 此外，这些论文对于博士教育也很有价值，因为它们将综合和整合有关组织的观点，并为未来的研究提出有希望的途径。
