The classical concept of organizations as comprising solitary
‘walled-in’ actors with clear operational boundaries is
increasingly being challenged. On the one hand, established
organizational forms have been supplemented by a whole variety of new
ones that only partially exhibit their properties and that frequently
embed single organizations in national or transnational networks;
furthermore, it is often not clear who the members of an organization
are and what membership actually means, as in the case of new
companies such as Uber or AirBnB, and even traditional organizations,
such as universities, are undergoing drastic changes. On the other
hand, organizations face increasing demands for transparency, meaning
they have to disclose more and more information, which is supposed to
engender less corruption, more efficiency, and more legitimacy. This
volume investigates the impact of these changes on organizations and
offers conceptual as well as empirical insights. Divided into four
parts this volume examines concepts of organizational boundaries,
boundaries and organizational dynamics, meta organization and
organizational networks, and boundaries and organizational fields.
