Bringing Secrecy into the Open: Towards a Theorization of the Social Processes of Organizational Secrecy
聚焦组织秘密的概念，将其定义为组织内部行为者之间持续的有意隐藏信息的正式与非正式社会过程，并区分了正式与非正式秘密，从身份和控制角度理论化其社会过程，建议将组织秘密纳入组织研究的分析工具库。
This paper brings into focus the concept of organizational secrecy, defined as the ongoing formal and informal social processes of intentional concealment of information from actors by actors in organizations. It is argued that existing literature on the topic is fragmented and predominantly focused on informational rather than social aspects of secrecy. The paper distinguishes between formal and informal secrecy and theorizes the social processes of these in terms of identity and control. It is proposed that organizational secrecy be added to the analytical repertoire of organization studies.
