Abstract: Gareth Morgan (1986) is famous for drawing attention to the key role of metaphors (metaphors) in organization theory. He suggested that various definitions of organizations are based on different metaphors, often unconscious ones. In this paper we set out with metaphors contained in Morgan's book (1986), but altered, re-imagined supplemented by us. Also, somewhat reinterpreted. The aim of the paper is, now as it was then, not to serve as a research article, but, rather, a kind of intertextual journey in search of narrative intricacy but without wandering off into chaos.
