Hybrid Organizational Arrangements: New Form or Transitional Development?
解释了基于手艺的生产网络、高科技战略伙伴等混合组织形式的成因，指出它们是对经济结构变化的回应，兼具小企业的激励优势与外部知识获取能力，并讨论了其局限性及是否代表根本性变革。
Nonmarket, nonbureaucratic organizational arrangements—hybrids—are significant features in today's fast-changing business world. This article describes the rationale for various kinds of hybrid forms such as craft-based producer networks, strategic partnerships in high-technology, extended trading groups, and vertically disaggregated large firms. It argues that these hybrids are a response to recent structural changes in the economy. Hybrids capture some of the powerful incentives associated with small firms, are better able to access know-how located outside of organizational boundaries, and provide for more rapid and reliable information flow. Finally, this article discusses the limitations of hybrid forms and speculates as to whether they represent a fundamental or transitional change.
