The Form of the Firm
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an essay in postclassical theory and modelling, and more specifically an attempt to think about organisation and management. Our focus is on cognition and communication, not on objectivity or causality. We look for operations based on distinctions and their contexts, not for identities, forces, causes and effects (see Korzybski 1933; Bateson 1972; von Foerster 2003; Luhmann 1984; Baecker 1994; Baecker 2002). We model the organisation of a firm selectively using organisation theory (Simon 1997; March/Simon 1993; Weick 1979; Luhmann 1995a), the historiography of business organisation (Sombart 1987; Chandler 1977), economic theories of the firm (Coase 1988; Gutenberg 1983; Jensen/Meckling 1976; Aoki 1984; Williamson 1985), and the sociology of the firm (Zukin and DiMaggio 1990; Grabher 1993; DiMaggio 2001; Guillén et al. 2002).
