Ideas
Project-based organizations as embedded. Project-based organizations, a variety of forms that create temporary systems for project tasks, are an emerging form for integrating diverse, specialized intellectual resources and expertise. Caveat: An editorial framing a special issue; its argument about embeddedness was not read.
The dilemma of organizational fluidity. With Schreyögg, argued that fluid forms built on changing templates and improvisation, taken to their conclusion, lose the essence of organizing, and that flexibility must instead be balanced against efficiency through countervailing processes. Caveat: Conceptual. Read in its abstract only.
In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
