Abstract

Organizations studies are used to borrowing concepts, images and theories from some more or less close theoretical fields, frequently from other social and human sciences. This multitude of inspirations are necessary and offer large potentialities but some scholars regret that organization studies do not refer enough to their own works. This choir article discusses potentialities, limits and contributions from some theoretical inspirations or from some processes of inspiration in organization studies.
