摘要

This article provides a critique of current work on the greening of organizations, especially work based on ecocentric argument. I question the meaning of nature and use studies of the sociology of order and networks to debate the assumptions of current green discourse and its normative rationales. I advance an interdependency network perspective, applying it to the greening of organizations, green technologies, and issues of globalization, and I argue that this perspective offers an alternative theoretical rationale and a potential basis for future research.
