Considering the Foucault’s studies and, the interfaces of its ideas with the organizational studies, it was objectified to present proposal for the use of the Foucault’s ideas in the organizational studies, considering the three steps of its work: archaeology, genealogy and ethics. When focusing archaeology, it considered the disruption with some beliefs of the functionalism in the field of the organizational studies, prioritizing the study of the “organizational discourses”. About the genealogy, the proposal is to advance in the analysis of the “discipline power”, considering the boarding of the relation power and of the biopolitics, redirecting the attention of disciplines for the institutional context, in which the organization is inserted. As for the ethics, it is defended that the analysis of the organizational practice must include the analysis of the proper “subjectivities”, constituters of the organization, asking about choices of the organizational members and as these choices direct their organizational practices.
