Construing organizational texture in young entrepreneurial firms

Article Abstract:

In a young entrepreneurial firm, two developmental processes are identified. One reflects the emergence of a social network whilst the other reflects the emergence of a task domain. The concept of 'organizational dialogue' is introduced to describe the action strategies through which these two processes are connected. The resulting textures may critically be examined to produce 'process' knowledge. It is argued that organizational theory can benefit from more work of this kind.

The process organizational structure

Article Abstract:

Systems theory introduced one approach to studying organization structures; an innovative theory suggests that process organization structure can be used to identify organizational structures along dynamic, if overlapping, processes and purposes. A framework for the process organization structure is developed, which should be applicable to all organizations. The research concludes with possible uses for the model and framework developed.
