Organizing a global world

.

Chapter 1 in How Standards Rule the World, 2020, pp 1-12 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: How can we know what we buy, in a global world where we cannot touch, smell or feel things to judge whether or not they are good, bad, toxic or dangerous? As a result to the questions globalization raises, a system of control has emerged, based on standards and control of such standards. The first chapter pose questions to this control system: how has it been constructed over time? How does it work? What components is it made up by and most importantly, how can we understand it as an organizational phenomenon?
