Note publique d'information : Organization Design: The Evolving State-of-the-Art outlines the larger role that organizational
design is increasingly playing in management theory and practice. The book's chapters
review the main theoretical perspectives on organization design, identify important
theoretical and practical issues currently facing the field, and suggest ways for
valuable research to be conducted in the future. The chapters include sections that
describe how the theoretical argument or empirical study specifically informs organization
design theory and practice. The volume is organized in four sections: (1) Theoretical
and Practical Issues, (2) Fit, Contingency and Configuration, (3) Design and Performance,
and (4) The Dynamics of Adaptation and Change. The book will be a broad discussion
of topics in the field, but each individual paper will provide in depth analysis of
the topic. A common element and theme is a focus on core theories in organization
design and emerging perspectives. The book will be a 2005-benchmark publication of
organization design theory, principles and concepts, and it will be an important step
in creating better models and stronger empirical analyses.
