Seeing business like a state: Firms and industries after the digital revolution
指出，美国基于大萧条时期政府应对措施形成的企业信息披露和产业分类体系，已难以适应当今数字时代的企业形态，基本概念如企业、产业、规模等受到挑战，战略组织领域或可帮助建立新的经济组织认知框架。
What we know about firms and industries in the United States has been fundamentally shaped by governmental responses to the Great Depression. Mandates for regular disclosures by public corporations and a system of industry categories created for surveys of establishments gave us a synoptic view of the economy that served us well for generations. They also molded the development of the fields of strategic management and organization theory. But the tools and frameworks that made sense in the 1930s are a poor fit with the enterprises we encounter today. Basic terms like firm, industry, size, performance, employee, and nationality are contested. The field of strategic organization may be the academic discipline best suited to helping us transition to a new way of making sense of the organization of the economy.
