Living with and Building on Complexity: A Constructivist Perspective on Organizations
提出一种基于人类行为相对不确定、多向且矛盾假设的组织理论,从建构主义视角整合现有看似不可通约的组织理论,适用于研究组织持久性、平衡与结构化的学者。
The paper introduces a theory of organizations built on the assumption that human behavior in organizational settings is relatively undetermined, multidirectional, and contradictory. Consistent with this assumption, the paper proposes a constructivist perspective on organizational persistence, equilibration, and structuration. The constructivist perspective represents an attempt at integrating extant, and often treated as incommensurable, theories of organizations within a complex framework.
