ABSTRACT:
Typically, organization theorists have defined power against authority around the axis of legitimacy. Power, thus regarded, is a capacity grounded outside the authoritative structure of the organization. Organizations have typically been regarded as coherent & homogenous entities in which these capacities occur. In contrast to these views, organizations are defined here as comprising locales, cross-cut by arenas, in which agencies, powers, networks & interests are constituted: power is not a thing but a process constituted within struggles. Power is always embedded within rules: these cannot provide for their own interpretation independently of those agencies whose interpretations instantiate, signify, or imply them. Specific disciplinary practices within organization studies prescribe these interpretations, but, it is argued, they can provide no general theory of the organization. 58 References. HA
