In this paper, I introduce the Decolonizing Management and Organization Studies (MOS) volume from the Research in the Sociology of Organizations series. This volume invites scholars to embark on a journey toward decolonization, aiming to correct knowledge shaped by colonial legacies through integrating perspectives from the colonized in pursuit of human emancipation and dignity for the common good. Created as a collaborative and reflective journey, the volume is based on an open dialogue among diverse MOS scholars from across the globe. By summarizing these contributions, I illustrate how they address the main aspects of decolonization and subsequently derive a provisional list of principles that I believe are essential for advancing this critical endeavor. I call on fellow scholars to engage with these insights and join us on this journey
