Tackling Design Anew:
指出组织设计研究近年被忽视，但对企业绩效至关重要。作者提出结合战略管理和组织理论来应对设计复杂性，并以跨国专业服务公司为例说明。
Executive OverviewWe propose that the study of organization design has been unduly neglected in recent years despite its critical importance for organizational performance. We point to the daunting complexity of the subject matter as a pivotal reason why researchers have turned to other questions. In this paper, we argue that the complexity of design can be successfully approached through the conjoint application of theories from strategic management and organization theory to types of organizations. We elaborate on this approach using transnational professional service firms as an illustrative example.
