The design of organizations has been a prime characteristic of
management theory and practice over the past several decades.
However, there has been little change in the fundamental theory,
principles and concepts of Organization Design since the
introduction of contingency theory in the 1970a (TM)s.
Nevertheless, over the past 25 years organizational reality has
changed dramatically with the advent of all sorts of communication
systems, AI agents, information technology, knowledge management
systems, and more. Therefore leading researchers in Organization
Design a" who understand the situation a" have undertaken to
address the problem.
Organization Design: The Evolving State-of-the-Art will be
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 still each individual
paper will provide in depth analysis of the topic. A common element
and theme to all of the chapters 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 on the basis of this
benchmark publication, the editors will encourage researchers and
students to further develop the field. The recent development in
organization design has been sporadic; hence this book will be an
important step in creating better theoretical models and stronger
empirical analyses that take advantage of advances in estimation
methods allowing for more complex causal modeling and stimulation
technologies.
