| Abstract: | Thompson's two domain model, with its central core of rational activities separated from a mantle of boundary-spanning activities, tells us how organizations cope with externally generated uncertainties. Innovation is an internal source of uncertainty that this model does not adequately cover. Following Burns and Stalker, the authors suggest that the rational core and the organic boundary-spanning are incompatible domains of activity with different modes of governance. |
