Abstract
This article specifies a ladder of organization-think in terms of discourse theory and the spatial notion of dimensionality. The ladder can represent discourses about organizations and discourses emanating from organizations; the main illustration used is its manifestation as a ladder of P.A. discourse. Seven characteristics of discourse are discussed. Four rungs of the ladder are described, and these rungs are labelled “me,” “they,” “our,” and “out of the cave.” Reasons why P.A. thinkers should be interested in the ladder are indicated.
