kieran: orgtheory poet laureate

Yesterday, I responded to Brayden’s assertion that OT was too focused on macro issues by snarkily writing: “Or, is Paul DiMaggio the owner of the One Ring of Orgtheory?” In true Irish form, Kieran dropped this bomb, which’ll be posted on b-school doors for decades to come:

Three Cites for Ecologists, in their niches high,
Seven for Networkers on their concrete thrones,
Nine for ASQ one-offs doomed to die,
One for Paul & Woody in their Grey Haven home,
And that 1983 paper, where Isomorphisms lie.
One Cite to rule them all, One Cite to find them,
One Cite to bring them all and in a deceptively simple three-part typology bind them
In DiMaggio & Powell (1983), where Isomorphisms lie.

I couldn’t let this gem die in the comments…
