Abstract
Can organization theory truly grasp excess, or is this a constant paradoxical other of organization, a permanently elusive remainder? As a phenomenon might it mark out the contours of a configuration that points to an aporia of organization that scholarship and research in organization has yet to confront? In posing these questions we note that excess has proven notoriously tricky to handle through conventional modes of analytical scholarship, and has thus often been ignored when discussing contemporary economy. However, excess has much to teach about organization. In order to respond to this challenge the article discusses the possibilities and problems of theorizing excess and presents/exhibits an argument for developing the theory of general economy in order to open up and extend the persistent restricted economy of organization studies.
