Boundary Activities in `Boundaryless' Organizations
This paper reports a case study that analyzes changes in organizational boundary activities carried out in a bank during and after restructuring from a functional to a team-based structure. Results suggest that the need for spanning, buffering, and bringing up boundaries does not disappear as organizations become `boundaryless'. Rather, boundary activities increase in significance and migrate to lower organizational levels. Several propositions a…
The Migration of Organizational Functions to the Work Unit Level
In this paper, we propose that the locus of organizational boundary activities has migrated from the organization to the work unit level as enterprises reengineer structures, increase the use of cross-functional teams, cut organizational slack and adopt advanced information technologies. From an open systems perspective, we examine how environmental and organizational forces affect this migration process. Three types of boundary activity relevant…

Provides a view of Quaker practice and its effects in a secular setting. Argues that renewal in the sense of restoration and refreshment of vigour and human spirit are warranted i…

In this paper the authors develop a perspective on the switch from automatic to acti…

How Individuals Conceptualize Conflict
Organizational conflict management has tended to emphasize the effects of another party's behavior and of background conditions upon an individual's conflict behavior, implicitly treating conflict parties mechanistically as interchangeable responders to conflict stimuli. In contrast, this paper highlights individual differences as significant factors in conflict management. Drawing upon the more humanistic and clinical psychological literatures, …
