How does organizations' embeddedness in broader social and cultural
communities influence their behavior? And how has this changed with
recent communication technology advances and globalization trends?
In this volume, we consider how diverse types of communities
influence organizations, as well as the associated benefit of
developing a richer accounting for community processes in
organizational theory. One goal of the volume is to move beyond the
focus on social proximity and networks that has characterized
existing work on communities. The papers in this volume consider
specific topics that expand the definition of community beyond
geography to include how transnational communities form and affect
organizations' perception, the development of a community-form
(C-form) organization as an important organizational architecture
for understanding twenty-first century business, and how virtual
communities influence key organizational processes. While there has
been a recent revival of research into the effects of both
geographic and non-geographic communities on organizational
behaviors, this volume is the first effort to bring both
perspectives together in order to aid in the identification of
common and disparate mechanisms across multiple types of
communities and how community as an organizing logic sits vis-a-vis
other logics related to the market, corporation, family and
religion.
