"A wonderful resource for students of organization theory at all levels..."
Christopher Marquis, Associate Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School (Feb. 2012)
"Professor Erhard Friedberg has done a tremendous service to the field of organization theory with the production of this DVDROM. [...] the DVDROM adds a new level of intrigue to the dynamics of our intellectual community because the biographies and videos bring the people, perspectives and recollections to life in a way that cannot be replicated with typical summary texts. Students and professors alike will find much to love in the Encyclopedia."
Lori Rosenkopf, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsyvania (Feb. 2012)

Philip Selznick, 1999
In this excerpt of The Multimedia Encyclopedia of Organization Theory, P. Selznick comes back to the "main surprise" of his Tennessee Valley Authority study. (TVA and the Grassroots, 1949). The TVA is a public agency created in 1933 by the Federal Government of the United States to develop the Tennessee valley both economically and socially. It fell within the framework of the New Deal policy created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's government in order to contend with the financial and economic crisis that had persisted in the United States since the late 1920s. By the time Philip Selznick began his empirical study in 1942, the TVA had become a huge success. The atypical, innovative and voluntaristic nature of this federal intervention was very appealing, as was the doctrine of participatory democracy advocated by its directors.

A pedagogical experimentation in American universities
Following a suggestion by Woody Powell, we have decided to organize a pedagogical experimentation by asking some seasoned professors of organization to use in their courses some of the audio-visual materials of our Multi-media Encyclopedia and to provide us with their feedback on this experience: what kind of use have they made of these materials, what was the reaction of the students and and in what way has this affected their teaching. We want to thank Jerry Davis (University of Michigan), Martin Ruef (Princeton University), Frank Dobbin (Harvard University), and Heather Haveman (University of California Berkeley) for having accepted to participate in this pedagogical experimentation, and we shall report their remarks, their critique and their suggestions.

SEPTEMBRE 2011 - PROFESSOR FRIEDBERG INTERVIEWS JOHN MEYER
  |
|
 John Meyer is one of the initiators and his work one of the main sources of inspiration of the neo-institutional approach in sociology. In a series of publications all through the Seventies and the first half of the Eighties which are based on a series of empirical studies on schools and education as an institution, he proposed a theory of society in which the latter is conceptualized as an ensemble of skills, knowledge, and culture. This ensemble constitutes a matrix (the analogy with the "script" in cinema is often used) on the basis of which and out of which actors construct themselves and in which activities are inscribed.

MAY 2011 - PROFESSOR FRIEDBERG INTERVIEWS JOHN PADGETT
|
|
 John Padgett has published on the topics of organization theory, social network analysis, federal budgeting, plea bargaining, and stochastic processes. But he is best known for his path-breaking work on the Medici and Renaissance Florence. During the past 20years, he has constructed a unique relational database about social network evolution in Renaissance Florence between the years 1300-1500. This database allows him to trace empirically the co-evolution of multiple, cross-cutting social networks over time and to use this knowledge to better understand the emergence of modern markets as well as of the organizational innovations of which Renaissance Florence was the theater.
