The Dualistic Organization

Paul Evans and Yves Doz

Chapter Chapter 12 in Human Resource Management in International Firms, 1990, pp 219-242 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One underlying theme in most discussion of the challenges facing complex organizations is that of dualities. The proverbial organizational pendulum, once swinging leisurely over a generation from one desirable quality to its opposite, now gyrates from arc to arc. Organizations are besieged by the paradoxes that these dualities create. This book is full of examples, summarized in Figure 12.1.
