My vision for the Thirteenth Edition of Organization Theory and Design is to integrate current organization design problems with significant ideas and theories in a way that is engaging and enjoyable for students. The biggest changes in the world of organizations are the emergence of large digital, platform-based organizations and the increasing focus in corporate America on the issues of social welfare and sustainability. A new chapter in this edition gives students the chance to learn about the design of dual-purpose organizations that combine profit-seeking and social welfare goals to provide self-sustaining social benefits to society. In addition, the chapter covering information technology has been completely revised to look at the exciting development of new platform-based digital organizations, including companies such as Uber, Airbnb, Facebook, and YouTube, and the increasing digitalization of traditional organizations. An important change to the Thirteenth Edition is a “Remember This” section at the end of each major section in a chapter that reviews the key ideas and concepts covered in that section. Other significant elements of this edition include “Managing by Design Questions” and “How Do You Fit the Design?” boxes, along with updates to every chapter that incorporate the most recent ideas, new case examples, new book reviews, and new end-of-book integrative cases. The research and theories in the field of organization studies are rich and insightful and will help students and managers understand their organizational world and solve real-life problems. My mission is to combine the concepts and models from organization theory with changing events in the real world to provide the most up-to-date view of organization design available.
