| Tiivistelmä: | The texture of organizing is briefly introduced. The concept of "texture" and its role in the organizing process is indicated. The history of texture and related ideas in the field of organizational studies is summarized. Texture itself is viewed analogically as a weave or web of interacting elements that resists operational definition. It is a tacit quality of the field of social action that, by definition, must remain beyond the grasp of explicit statement. Some implications of the "logic" of texture are discussed briefly in relation to the understanding of "instrumental action" in organizations as well as rethinking the "organization-environment" problem in terms of "contextures". |
