Secrecy is endemic within organizations, woven into the fabric of
our lives at work. Yet, until now, we've had an all-too-limited
understanding of this powerful organizational force. Secrecy is a
part of work, and keeping secrets is a form of work. But also,
secrecy creates a social order-a hidden architecture within our
organizations. Drawing on previously overlooked texts, as well as
well-known classics, Jana Costas and Christopher Grey identify
three forms of secrecy: formal secrecy, as we see in the case of
trade and state secrets based on law and regulation; informal
secrecy based on networks and trust; and public or open secrecy,
where what is known goes undiscussed. Animated with evocative
examples from scholarship, current events, and works of fiction,
this framework presents a bold reimagining of organizational life.
