Abstract: The recent decade’s research on organizational forms has gained important headway in converging upon a few particularly important causes of the new forms that have been observed. Yet, most studies offer no explicit definition of "organizational form," and ignore the need to establish what should count as a "new form." In order to advance this research, the present paper therefore aims to provide a preliminary definition of organizational form, developed along the lines of organizational economics. A typology is provided that allows identification of alternative forms of organizing in terms of distinct architectures (topology plus dynamic rules) and a corresponding level of delegation of decision rights.

An Intraindustry AnalysisKnudsen, Thorbjørn; Eriksen, Bo (København, 2000)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Previous empirical diversification research has largely ignored the combined effect of inputand output diversity as drivers of financial performance. In view of this gap, the present paper provides an empirical analysis of the link between intraindustry commitment, diversity of the firm’s product market portfolio and performance. We suggest that commitment constrains the ability to diversify, and that product market diversity can be evaluated with respect to the extent that increases in diversity lead to increases in coordination costs. Our results suggest that commitment to physical assets and technology choice drives product and product line diversity. Furthermore, financial performance increases in product diversity and tends to decrease in the number of product lines. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6896 Files in this item: 1
