Abstract

An organization concept is “a more or less coherent, prescriptive vision on (aspects of) organization design”. Practitioners are often faced with the problem of how to use insights from organization concepts.

We derive four different reasons for such combinations, namely conceptual clarification, conceptual additions, technical instrumentalization and legitimation.
