Organization Theory and the Study of European Union Institutions: Lessons and Opportunities
指出现代组织理论多聚焦私营部门，而欧盟这类复杂公共组织可作为检验和发展组织理论的实验室，并探讨了组织理论对欧盟制度研究的价值及未来研究方向。
Most scholarship in modern organization theory maintains a near-exclusive focus on private-sector settings. In contrast, this article argues that complex public-sector organizational systems – such as the European Union (EU) – can provide a very relevant laboratory to both fine-tune organization theoretical propositions and test them empirically. I first draw attention to the value-added of organization theory for the study of EU institutions. Then, I turn to these institutions’ capacity to present a springboard for theoretical development in organization theory, and bring forward a number of avenues for further research on the intersection of EU studies and organization theory that can push forward both research fields.
