Seeing the Empty Spaces: Towards a More Complex Understanding of the Meaning of Power in Organizations
用符号学方法识别并系统梳理了组织中权力的多重维度，包括可见的决策行为和不可见的非决策空白，并通过分析两位美国工业领袖的权力意义深层结构，揭示其差异。
Power in organizations is reflected in overt decisions and behaviours and in the empty spaces of non-decision and non-behaviour. This paper presents semiotics as a means of identifying and systematically structuring multiple dimensions that combine to make up the meaning of power in a particular context. It semiotically categorizes the visible and invisible dimensions of power of two prominent leaders in American industry. The resulting deep structures show underlying differences in the way these two leaders framed the meaning of power.
