The chapters in this collection address a variety of concerns in
organizational theory, ranging from the evolution of organizations
and cross-cultural analyses of managerial behavior to the
micro-sociology of knowledge brokering within organizations and the
etiology of organizational messes. Swaminathan, examines resource
partitioning theory, an important theoretical perspective in
population ecology. The next three chapters, broadly construed,
address issues of organizational innovation, learning, and
adaptation in complex environments. The next contribution, by John
Carroll, Jenny Rudolph, and Sachi Hatakenaka examines how
high-hazard organizations learn from experience. As with all
organizations, high-hazard organizations such as nuclear power
plants and chemical plants attempt to learn from experience in
order to improve performance and, of course, to avoid catastrophic
failure. Unlike many other kinds of organizations, however, failure
to learn from prior experience-especially with respect to learning
effectively from errors and mishaps-can prove extremely costly and
even fatal. Hence, these organizations must balance between
learning and control, and must do so under conditions of
considerable oversight and scrutiny. provocative analysis of the
role disorganization plays in organizational life. The two
following chapters in this volume provide important overviews of
theory and research on classic phenomena within organizational
theory, followed by original theoretical syntheses. Robert Baron's
chapter then undertakes a fresh and useful examination of the
burgeoning literature on entrepreneurship and the two final
chapters in the volume examine essential issues related to our
understanding of organizations and the cultural environments in
which they are embedded.
