ORGANISING: Weick 
The word organisation is a noun, and it is also 
a myth. If you look for an organisation you 
won’t find it. What you will find is that there 
are events linked together, that transpire 
within concrete walls and these sequences, 
their pathways, and their timing are the forms 
we erroneously make into substances when 
we talk about an organisation.
