We are offered representations of organizations as organically grounded metaphors that minimize the biological facticity of employees: namely, their need for food. While the inputs to organizations conceived as if they were quasi-systems are well explored, and the emotional and `irrational' side of organizations is increasingly discussed, the necessity of inputs to the biological systems that staff them is not. Nonetheless, despite the lack of explicit scholarly attention to food at work, its importance guarantees its hidden presence in the organizational literature, often in the context of more `serious' themes. We identify four approaches to the relationship between food, work and organization. For dessert, we propose a research menu that aims to uncover several possibilities for making the role of food in organizational life more explicit. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0018726708093903","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,16]],"date-time":"2008-07-16T11:03:43Z","timestamp":1216206223000},"page":"935-963","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Manna from heaven: The exuberance of food as a topic for research in                management and organization"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Miguel","family":"Pina e Cunha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Economia, Universidade Nova de Lisboa,"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Cabral-Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho, Portugal,"}]},{"given":"Stewart","family":"Clegg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Technology, Sydney, Australia,"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"atypb1","first-page":"97","volume":"71","author":"Adler, P.S.","year":"1993","journal-title":"Harvard Business Review"},{"issue":"11","key":"atypb2","first-page":"188","volume":"46","author":"Alisau, P.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Successful Meetings"},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"In the Devil's garden: A sinful history of forbidden food","author":"Allen, S.L.","year":"2002"},{"key":"atypb4","first-page":"32","author":"Alsop, R.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Wall Street Journal"},{"key":"atypb5","volume-title":"The transition from feudalism to capitalism","author":"Anderson, P.","year":"1974"},{"issue":"3","key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"247","DOI":"10.1016\/S0263-2373(02)00040-3","volume":"20","author":"Balazs, K.","year":"2002","journal-title":"European Management Journal"},{"key":"atypb7","volume-title":"Jihad vs McWorld: Terrorism challenge to democracy","author":"Barber, B.R.","year":"2001"},{"key":"atypb8","first-page":"50","author":"Barrett, A.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Business Week"},{"key":"atypb9","volume-title":"Brain of the firm","author":"Beer, S.","year":"1981","edition":"2"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.orgdyn.2006.08.003"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0893318904267729"},{"key":"atypb12","volume-title":"Space, organizations, and management theory","author":"Clegg, S.R.","year":"2006"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781446215715"},{"key":"atypb14","volume-title":"Folk devils and moral panics","author":"Cohen, S.","year":"1972"},{"key":"atypb15","volume-title":"Escape attempts: The theory and practice of resistance to everyday life","author":"Cohen, S.","year":"1976"},{"key":"atypb16","first-page":"20","author":"Collins, R.","year":"1994","journal-title":"Resident Abroad"},{"key":"atypb17","first-page":"100","author":"Conlin, M.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Business Week"},{"key":"atypb18","volume-title":"The harvest of sorrow: Soviet collectivization and the terror-famine","author":"Conquest, R.","year":"1986"},{"key":"atypb19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14766080409518543"},{"key":"atypb20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10967490600899440"},{"key":"atypb21","volume-title":"Collapse: How societies choose to fail or succeed","author":"Diamond, J.","year":"2005"},{"key":"atypb22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/smj.583"},{"key":"atypb23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/258557"},{"key":"atypb24","volume-title":"The civilizing process","author":"Elias, N.","year":"1982"},{"key":"atypb25","volume-title":"China: A new history","author":"Fairbank, J.K.","year":"1992"},{"key":"atypb26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0170840606068310"},{"key":"atypb27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/210082"},{"key":"atypb28","volume-title":"The feminist case against bureaucracy","author":"Fergusson, K.","year":"1984"},{"key":"atypb29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14375\/NP.9782020476614"},{"key":"atypb30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-5957.05362"},{"key":"atypb31","volume-title":"FT Best workplaces","author":"Financial Times.","year":"2006"},{"key":"atypb32","unstructured":"Fineman, S.
