Companion to Organizations: An Introduction

Abstract

Organizations dominate our socioeconomic landscape. Their influence in our everyday lives has increased steadily over time, particularly in the most developed regions of the world during the twentieth century. Today, we are born, work, pray and die in organizations, and, along the way, many of us derive our identities from our associations with them. Organizations are the building blocks of our societies, and a basic vehicle for collective action. They produce the infrastructure of our societies and they will fundamentally shape our futures. Because they are such an integral part of modern societies, we readily turn to them, or construct them when a problem exceeds our own personal abilities or resources.
