There is, in my view, an urgent need for teaching that encourages imagination rather than compliance, and when this is done well students inevitably enjoy the experience. I have found this to be particularly so for post-experience (MBA) students, but the need to engage imagination actually pervades teaching at all levels. An Imaginoscope for Organizers is an interesting read, with lots of practical advice about how to develop and use the imaginoscope with students. ~ Barbara Simpson PhD FRSA, Professor of Leadership and Organisational Dynamics , Strathclyde Business School

Every once and a while someone from organizational studies writes something that extends far beyond the boundaries and limits of the field, whereby they achieve negentropy. That is, ideas and writing that give us energy and hope. This is what Monika Kostera has achieved here; it is a book of pedagogical ideas, a response to teaching during the Covid pandemic, an exploration of ethnographic phenomenology and a political statement. Not only is the text poetically powerful; it is rich in ‘imaginiscope’ suggestions, possibilities and interactions, creating a liminal space that we the readers will be eager to enter into and engage with. ~ Professor Hugo Letiche, Professor Hugo Letiche - LITEM, Institut Mines-TBS Evry/Paris; recent book is The Magic of Organization (ed with J-L Moriceau

While imagination is one of the most important topics in organization theory and design, it is, unfortunately, one of the least studied. This book by Monika Kostera fills this gap by allowing readers to rediscover their imaginative faculties through a series of experiments, starting with language. By changing the perspective of observers and actors of organizational life, she invites them to participate in the imaginoscopic transmutation of the world of work. ~ Ghislain Deslandes, Professor, ESCP Business School

An Imaginoscope for Organizers invites readers to imagine and go beyond the limitations of our imagination to think differently and mobilize collectively against forces that threaten our ability to create alternative futures. A timely, creative, and enchanting interdisciplinary text that will linger with us until we imagine anew. ~ Professor Alison Pullen Professor of Management and Organization Studies Joint Editor-in-Chief Gender, Work and Organization
