Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
This volume of Advances in Strategic Management explores emerging trends and contemporary research in the field of organization design. It reflects a renewed focus on the subject of integration (and, by extension, differentiation). Unlike earlier work, which focused primarily on integration via hierarchical supervision and information processing, this new stream of research considers integration from a variety of theoretical perspectives; it addresses multiple integration mechanisms simultaneously (e.g., both formal and informal, and top-down and bottom-up) as well as their overall fit.The studies published here employ a wide variety of theories and research designs to contribute to this renewal of organization design research, considering collaborative ways of working, organizational learning, and strategic innovation.
