Reviews

This thought-provoking collection of articles presents the reader with an autopoietic theory of organizations in which recursivity, complexity, redundancy, differentiation, communication and decision-making play central roles. A must read for anyone interested in finding out what Luhmann's social systems theory can contribute to organization theory. Mary Jo Hatch, Professor of Commerce, McIntire School of Commerce, University of Virginia When formulating his general systems theory of society, Niklas Luhmann drew from theories of organization. In this valuable book Luhmann's theory is used for analysing organizations. The authors provide useful insights in two respects: they elucidate Luhmann's general ideas in the specific context of organization, and they demonstrate how our understanding of organizations can benefit from these ideas. Nils Brunsson, Professor of Management. Stockholm School of Economics
