What Happened before the Organization? A Model of Organization Formation
提出一个模型，解释为何并非所有人都有潜力创建组织，以及有潜力者中为何并非所有人都尝试或成功，模型包含倾向、意图和意义建构三个维度。
This paper attempts to explain the observations that not all Individuals have the potential to found organizations, and that of those who do, not all try or succeed. Three dimensions to organization formation are proposed: propensity to found, intention to found, and sense making. These three dimensions lead to a decision to found the venture, or to abandon the attempt. Several propositions are derived from the model.
