Gareth Morgan's book is designed to develop the art of reading and understanding organizations.

He demonstrates how the use of different metaphors provides new ways of managing and designing organizations. His book also stands as a treatise on metaphorical thinking that contributes to both the theory and practice of organizational analysis.
