Interdisciplinarity and the use of metaphors: A bridge between science and managerial practices In the field of organization theory and management science, the use of metaphors has proved to be an analytical tool of undeniable value. Unlike models that seek to reproduce reality in an exhaustive manner, metaphors and dialogue between different fields of knowledge (interdisciplinarity) focus on the essence of a particular aspect of this reality, revealing nuances that are often masked by more formal or linear analyses. These different metaphors therefore invite critical reflection on managerial practices, offering varied perspectives for a richer analysis of organizations. Interdisciplinarity and metaphors therefore prove to be essential tools for navigating the complexity of the contemporary business world.
