Book Description
Some 20 years after the emergence of configurational theory as a key perspective in organization studies in the 1990s, this approach has yet to deliver on its promise. While we know that configurations the relative arrangement of parts and elements – matters, empirical research on configurations is just beginning to deliver on its promise.
Review

Some subjects addressed include configurational analysis of the European generic medicines industry, configurational research on corporate govnernance, applying fuzzy set methodology to evaluate leadership, and using set theoretical methods to understand complementarities as organizational configurations. There is no subject index. The book is distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. –Book News Inc. Portland, OR
