Article Abstract:

Various metaphors have been developed to describe organizational culture and corporate change. Organizations have been viewed in terms of physical metaphors such as machine, organisms and the brain.

However, such metaphors need to adjust to the changing aspects of organizational life to remain useful and applicable.
