Organization Design: The Epistemic Interdependence Perspective
提出一个分析框架，研究组织成员间的认知相互依赖及其对预测性知识的需求，从而理解组织的信息处理要求，并重新审视组织设计的关键思想。
We develop a novel analytical framework to study epistemic interdependence between agents and the resulting need for predictive knowledge as a basis for understanding information processing requirements in organizations and the implications for organization design. These two new constructs help to sharply distinguish interdependence between tasks and between agents and highlight why even interdependence between agents need not imply any need for information processing between them. They also help to refine key ideas about organization design.
