This brief text intends to discuss some of our institutional conditions related to the organization studies in Brazil. It discusses not only the main problems and structural demands but also how the researchers in this field face such questions. Based on Éugéne Ionesco´s play Rhinoceros, I believe that is possible to describe researchers' present dilemma as that of been at a crossroads: facing a comfortable position of been similar to the others, in a world of rhinos, or struggle to achieve some originality and, at the same time, universal relevance in their studies.
