组织链:现代社会的一种组织间关系

Organization Chain: A Structure of Social Organizations in Modern Society

“组织链”是笔者提出的新的组织间关系分析的理论框架,以超越既往的多组织间共时性关系的分析模式。组织链实质是在一个组织格局中由若干边界清晰、彼此独立的组织个体按照某种维度所形成的一种流程性序次关系体,其制度化特点在于流程性和序次性。组织链的形成路径或者依赖于社会组织个体的自主建构,或者依赖于组织格局内某种势力的设置。在现代社会中,组织链形成后,会因为各种因素的影响发生转向,这种转向有三种基本结局:组织链的名义化、组织链整合为新组织、组织链的解构。

This paper puts forward a new theoretical framework of social organization, i.e. Organization Chain, which may be defined as a special multilateral relation of the individuals of social organizations. An organization chain can be built by two paths： being autonomously constructed by the individuals of social organization or being set up by some social forces. After being built, an organization chain may transform to three ends： becoming nominal, being integrated to a new organization, and being de- constructed.
