  • 摘要:The research in this paper gives a description of a metaphor as multifaceted. The metaphor’s many sides create complexity, give clarity, provide validity, and develop creativity. Metaphor is a valuable tool that gives dimension to language. The depth affects the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of human existence. Metaphor has value as a descriptive tool, also. It adds color and expands language. Morgan and Weick described metaphor as important and beneficial in detailing organizations and defining organizing theories. The size of the organization limits metaphorical practice. Organizational culture illustrated by metaphor aids organizational members in understanding the organization’s history
