| Abstract: | Under the assumption that a classification system is necessary for the advancement of any scientific field, this paper reviews major taxonomic studies in the literature. Although each of these studies has certain limitations in terms of proposed guidelines for the development of a valid taxonomy of organizations, in the aggregate they appear to demonstrate that organizations do indeed cluster in recognizable groups and that organizational scientists have indeed the methodological and statistical tools to identify them. |
