Perspectives in Organizations: Resource Dependence, Efficiency, and Population
综述了资源依赖、效率和种群三种组织视角的驱动力、概念、假设和文献，并指出三者整合的三个要点，提出一个元理论框架，有助于不同理论视角间的辩论与理论发展。
Three perspectives on organizations recently have been the object of increasing interest: the resource dependence, efficiency, and population perspectives. This paper reviews the driving force, organizational concept, assumptions, and literatures of each, then identifies three points of integration across the three perspectives. The suggested meta-theoretical framework within which the perspectives can be interpreted as selection processes may provide the basis for more elaborate theory development by enhancing debate and confrontation among different theoretical perspectives.
