This important and timely book provides a systematic treatment of
temporary organizations - an increasingly prevalent organizational
form in which organizations work together on a joint task - for
example, a movie production, a rescue operation, development of a
new product - for an ex ante limited period of time. Demonstrating
that temporary organizations are increasingly common, the book
provides insights on how they differ from the classical
organization and contributes to our understanding of what makes
temporary organizations effective. Contributions by reputed
organization scholars focus on the impact that this limited
duration has on the way that temporary organizations structure
their activities, organize work, use resources and achieve
outcomes. Moreover, the tenability of various organizational
concepts and theories for temporary contexts is examined and some
unique phenomena inherent to temporariness are explored.
Researchers interested in organizational design and project
management scholars will warmly welcome this book, as will graduate
students in organization studies, management studies, public policy
studies, leisure studies, public administration and students of
project management.
Some 20 years after the emergence of configurational theory as a
key perspective in organization studies in the 1990s, this approach
has yet to deliver on its promise. While we know that
configurations the relative arrangement of parts and elements -
matters, empirical research on configurations is just beginning to
deliver on its promise.
