On one hand, marginals are complex organizational systems. On the
other hand, they are an example of elegant, applied organizational
operations. In The Marginal Organization, Tafoya focuses on
organizations often described as part of an informal economy,
informal sector, underground economy, or unofficial economy. He
presents these systems first as organizations and then as
organizations operating outside of society's mainstream, as
marginal organizations. He outlines a means for studying marginals
so that underlying behavioral patterns can be identified, examined
and, if needed, addressed. A simple approach to a study of marginal
organizations might conclude they exist simply to meet the needs of
their stakeholders - they do not. Thinking of marginals as
competing in the context of other organizations allows the reader
the opportunity to explore new themes, such as when and how
marginals may be more inventive and innovative that mainstream
organizations, and what one might conclude about illegal marginals
like drug pushers and prostitutes. Tafoya's newest contribution to
the field of organizational study is not to be missed.
