Creating Tomorrow's Organizations

In the 1990s, a major restructuring of work is taking place, with both organizations and individuals having to be increasingly flexible and adaptive in their outlook, and this trend seems set to continue into the next century. The challenge for researchers is now to readdress their research questions in light of these changes and re-evaluate how best to conduct future research. In this handbook, the editors have invited some of the leading scholars in organizational behaviour (OB) to provide their ideas about new types of research within five broad topic domains: OB in a multinational or global environment; OB reaching beyond traditional boundaries; current forms and processes for organizing; future careers; and current methods and constructs in future OB research. This handbook therefore, is an effort to re-define the field, to be receptive to the issues of the 1990s and beyond, and to create a new vision for the field.
