This essay highlights Richard Laughlin's contribution to the theorization of organizations using elements of Habermas's critical social theory. Specifically it discusses an early paper - Laughlin (1987) - and suggest how this shapes a cumulative programme of work to operationalise Habermas's key ideas at the organizational level.
