Conclusions: Strategies for the Management of a Society’s Marginal Organization

Dennis W. Tafoya

Chapter Chapter 8 in Marginal Organizations, 2014, pp 191-214 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When researching for and writing this book, I expressly wanted to avoid writing from a particular academic orientation typically associated with the subject. Researchers in disciplines such as economics, sociology, anthropology, political science etc., have and continue to make significant contributions to our understanding of the marginal sector. Our contribution was to be an examination of organizations within the sector using tools commonly found and used in studies of business or organizational theory. Our hope was that taking this different approach would provide new insights or at least complement some of the research that already exists. It seems this objective is accomplished. Building off existing literature and using various tools and methods in business or organizational theory have illustrated how organizations in the marginal sector operate, why they operate as they do and, in turn, what this may mean for these organizations and the mainstream generally. That much seems accomplished.
