No 771, Working Papers from Graduate School of Management, St. Petersburg State University

Abstract: The paper aims to provide analysis of organization theory, as a scientific discipline, at the turn of the 20th - 21st centuries. The main focus is placed on the factors, contributing to the emergence and recognition of new schools of organizational thought. The hypothesis proposed by foreign researchers is tested through organization ecology, neoinstitutionalism, school of resource dependence and neo-contingency approach to explain the organization structure. According to the hypothesis, the probability of emergence and recognition of a new school of thought is largely determined by such factors as novelty and continuity of intellectual products, as well as by the scope of considered phenomena. Executive summary is available at pp. 23 [in English]
