The Organization of Markets
Markets have sometimes been described as vastly different from and even opposite to formal organizations. But markets and organizations share a similarity as well. Both are organized – by the use of decisions on membership, rules, monitoring, sanctions or hierarchy. Market organization creates differences among markets, and specific dynamics, which can be explained by the actions and interactions of market organizers: profiteers, ‘others’, seller…

Social Organizations
Organization outside organizations
It is common practice in organizational research to restrict the concept of organization to formal organizations, and to describe the world outside these entities by such other concepts as institutions or networks. It is argued in this article that the concept of organization can be fruitfully broadened to include some aspects of the order that exists outside and among organizations. A broader concept includes not only complete, formal organizati…

Social Organizations
Illustrates the potential of an organizational theory of society to illuminate current areas of sociological interest. The text draws on different strands of organization theory to show how a synthesis with social theory clarifies the nature and effects of social and organizational interactions
Meta-organizations
A growing number of organizations are meta-organizations; rather than individuals they have other organizations as their members. This comprehensive book explains, in-depth, the unique way in which meta-organizations function, how they differ from organizations with individual membership, and how they are crucial agents in the process of globalization.

Civil Society and Civil Organizations
Civil society is analysed from an organizational perspective. Many ideas about the quality of interaction in civil society are similar to ideas about how to create excellent organizations. Although there is no clear definition of civil society, it is first of all understood in contrast to the state. Organizational forms mentioned in connexion with civil society, such as voluntary associations, new social movements and networks, are analysed. None…
Technological Change and Co-Determination in Sweden
Organiseringen av det civila samhället
The organization of civil societyThe three societal spheres state, market and civil society are compared from an organizational perspective. A state is a certain kind of organization with compulsory affiliation. The state is an empirical category that is fairly easy to describe. A market is made up of the interaction of several organizations in exchange. Most actors on a market are people acting on behalf of organizations. Also states are present…

Middle Way' Sweden at a Cross-Road
Theoretically the purpose of the paper is defined in terms of class analysis and class struggle: What is the strength of the Swedish working-class in terms of numerical size, unionization, level of social consciousness, and labour party responsiveness? What is the strength of the capitalist class in terms of its systemic metapower, its control of the capital market as reflected in ownership and investment patterns, its subjection to recent labour…

Normative Order, Reification and Role Dis Tance Applied To Consumer Behaviour
The meaning of consumption is no longer as evident as it used to be, when poverty among the proletariat and conspicuous consumption among the upper classes gave it a much stronger significance. In opposition to economic utilitarianism, structural-functional sociology has looked upon consumer behaviour as socially functional and governed by socially structured goals. Some recent Marxist writers have explained consumer behaviour in the 'affluent' s…
