Reviews / Votes
Scholars in various areas of business survey emerging trends and research in organization design, focusing on mechanisms and on topics that mainstream journals might consider too exploratory, risky, or unusual. They cover fit and coordination, configuration and control, division of labor and organizational learning, structure and strategy, and new organizational forms and problem solving. Among their topics are designing a culture of collaboration: when changing beliefs is (not) enough, balanced control as an enabler of organizational ambidexterity, differentiation and integration in organizational learning: a garbage can model, organization design and firm heterogeneity: towards an integrated research agenda for strategy, and limits to the wisdom of the crown in idea selection. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *More details
