organizational taboos  

Definition

  • A taboo is a social prohibition against a particular act, object, word, or subject. Originating in social anthropology, the idea of taboo has had a small but significant influence on studies of organization through the cultural turn of the 1980s, in which issues of symbolism came to the fore in organizational analysis.
