The Twenty-First-Century Firm: Changing Economic Organization in International Perspective
Students of management are nearly unanimous (as are managers themselves) in believing that the contemporary business corporation is in a period of dizzying change. This book represents the first time that leading experts in sociology, law, economics, and management studies have been assembled in one volume to explain the varying ways in which contemporary businesses are transforming themselves to respond to globalization, new technologies, workfo…

Teaching Complex Organizations: A Survey Essay
In this essay I briefly review six books that could be used as texts in teaching complex organizations. I began my quest for appropriate textbooks to review by examining a draft of Thomas Drabek's article, the Sociology of Complex Organizations, which also appears in this issue of Teaching Sociology. He identified six texts as excellent, but two of them were considerably dated (1979, 1981) and more recent editions were not available. In addition
Response to Special Issue on Complex Organizations
The January 1988 issue of Teaching Sociology (Volume 16, No. 1) contains some interesting and valuable articles and reviews regarding teaching courses in Complex Organizations. In the Fall of 1987 I presented my own version of this course in a totally restructured way which may be of interest to people who teach the course. A little background information is required. The State University of New York at Albany instituted a new requirement several…

The Supply of Performing Arts in Metropolitan Places
Consistent with a general assumption of central place theory, the number of performing arts organizations in metropolitan places is a function of population size. Central place theory also posits that the relation between the two untransformed variables is a deciding exponential function owing to economies of scale. However, the relationship for these data is linear, indicating that the population base that supports arts organizations is constant…

Theoretical Trends in the Sociology of Occupations
In order to determine the directions which the field of sociology of occupations has taken in recent years, a content analysis of articles on work and occupations in four general sociological journals and two specialized journals was completed for the years of 1976 to early 1982. Not surprisingly, there has been a rapid increase in the number of papers dealing with status and income attainment. Very surprisingly, there has been a near demise of p…

Professionalization and Bureaucratization
Analysis of structural and attitudinal aspects of professionalization, and of the organizational settings in which many professional occupations exist, suggests that there is generally an inverse relationship between professionalization and bureaucratization, although there is considerable variation within the relationship. The data further suggest that the structural and attitudinal aspects of professionalization do not necessarily vary together…

The Concept of Bureaucracy: An Empirical Assessment
The concept of bureaucracy is viewed as a series of dimensions, each in the form of a continuum. When each continuum is measured, no concomitant variation is found among the dimensions. It is suggested that the bureaucratic concept is more empirically valid when approached in this manner, rather than assuming that organizations are totally bureaucratic or non-bureaucratic. The suggested approach is demonstrated through the application of the mode…

"A Note on Bureaucracy and Its "Correlates
Twenty-five organizations are ranked according to their degree of bureaucratization. The ranking is accomplished by the combination of scores on six dimensions of bureaucracy into a single Guttman scale of bureaucratization. This over-all degree of bureaucratization is then found to have a moderately strong association with an organizational concern with objects as opposed to ideas. Less association is found between degree of bureaucratization an…

The Size of the Supportive Component in Organizations: A Multi-Organizational Analysis
In an analysis of thirty organizations of various types, the authors examine the relation of varying size of the supportive component to other organizational characteristics such as total size, age, number of operating sites, diversification of activities performed, and type of organizational function. Total organizational size and number of locations appear to be related to size of supportive component but they vary inversely

An Ineffective Effectiveness Study and Some Suggestions for Future Research
Following contingency theory on a goal based model of effectiveness, an analysis of the effectiveness of 73 human service organizations was attempted. The initial measure of effectiveness was self-reports from organizational members. When these measures were compared with additional indicators of effectiveness on the same goals, dissimilar results were found. This suggested that it was fruitless to try to establish single measures of organization…
