Bringing Public Organization and Organizing Back In
指出自1990年代末以来社会科学对公共组织的关注减少,基于第六届组织研究夏季工作坊,提出诊断和研究议程,列出公共性、治理等未解问题,并探讨如何将组织知识扩展到跨组织安排、混合组织等公共领域。
Since the late 1990s social science-based studies have allocated much less attention to public organizations. Based on the sixth Organization Studies summer workshop, this introductory paper suggests a diagnosis of such a decline as well as a research agenda. It lists some fundamental issues still to be explored such as publicness and governance. It also considers how social science-based organizational knowledge might be extended to various empirical objects and fields in public domains and set-ups such as inter-organizational arrangements, hybrid organizations, multi-stakeholder arenas, hybrid organizing, and transnationalization processes, that usually are covered by scholars – economists, historians, anthropologists, management academics, etc. – who are not using organizational theory lenses.
