Introduction to the Concept of the Marginal Organization

Dennis W. Tafoya

Chapter Chapter 1 in Marginal Organizations, 2014, pp 1-26 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract People invent opportunities. Sometimes these opportunities result in a business venture, at other times in a means for escape from a difficult or dangerous situation, or in an opportunity for advancement and at still other times in a simple chance to eat, to survive. Whatever the result, if necessity is the mother of invention, invention is the nexus of opportunity. In this book, we explore a by-product of human efforts to construct opportunities for themselves and others; it is an investigation into ways an individual or group’s bond with society translates into action that leads to the formation of an economic way of life that exists outside of a society’s mainstream.
