Abstract

The article presents a response to the 2001 article “When the Muse Takes it All: A Model for the Experience of Timelessness in Organizations,” by Charalampos Mainemelis, which discusses how time is experienced by organizational actors, followed by an answer to the response by Mainemelis. The response states that Mainemelis makes too blunt a distinction between ordinary temporal experience and timelessness, and Mainemelis counters that the author misinterpreted several key points of the article. A third response to the original article, entitled “The Importance of Time in Organizational Research,” by Thomas A. Wright, is presented.
