The Genesis of Configuration
探讨环境、结构、领导力和战略四种力量如何塑造组织构型，并揭示各范式的适用范围，对组织理论研究者有参考价值。
The major paradigms of organizational theory suggest four imperatives or powerful influences—environment, structure, leadership, and strategy—that help shape organizational configurations. The configurations in turn reveal the range of applicability of the paradigms, signifying their middle range, as opposed to universal nature. Conjectures are drawn about the theoretical roots, causal patterns, common elements, facilitating conditions, and modes of change of each imperative.
