Organizational studies is not usually considered to be closely related to HR - I removed that phrase. HR is one practical outgrowth of organizational studies, but HR is most often consiered to be part of the academic field of "industrial and labor relations" which is a spereate catagory. --Goodoldpolonius 04:58, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It would be a good idea to define what is meant by "organization" upfront. The word has several meanings. I want to stuty of organization behavior

I would suggest being more explixt about teh overlap between organization studeis and OS. SOme of teh difference may be regional. My impression is that Europeans and Asians use OS. More North AMerican Schoalrs use OT. OSme of the difference also seems rooted in epistemological commitemnts. OS is rooted in constructivist, post-modern, or subjectivist epistemology; OT is more likley to use a relaist or neo-positivist epistemology.

Articles by Stewart Clegg and Bill McElivy would be good references, among many, about the epistemological difference.

[edit] Astrology

Rursus adds comment "--might seem far fetched, but if it is used, however irrational, it should be linked here, if it's NOT used, then remove it". If the link is valid, then it should be disambiguated. Since astrology is listed under "Personality Traits Theories", the implication is that it is natal astrology that is intended here, rather than the equally plausible (or implausible) katarchic, horary or mundane astrologies. But I think the key question here is not whether astrology is used in an organizational context, but whether any such use is notable and verifiable. And if astrology, why not tarot or feng shui? --RichardVeryard (talk) 12:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe I'm overly conservative, but I can't see a reason why astrology should be linked in a scholarly entry on organizational studies. If it is linked here, why not in biology or sociology? Pundit|utter 14:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I think the criteria of notability and verifiability are sufficient here. If a president of the United States used astrology to determine auspicious dates for meetings, and this was properly verifiable, then it might well be notable as well. But who cares if a few unknown management consultants use astrology or drugs, or eat too many donuts, or read the works of Jung between meetings? --RichardVeryard (talk) 18:03, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ambiguous / meaningless sentence

"In Europe these distinctions do exist as well, but are more rarely reflected in departmental divisions."

What does this sentence mean? Can't work it out! Ksaelagnulraon (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
