Description
This proposed symposium aims to bring together prominent scholars who explore the modeling of firm growth and organizational design. The study of firm growth and organizational design has a long history within the management literature, and formal modeling has served as a useful methodological approach to generating meaningful insights on these topics. The scholars invited to participate in this symposium will share their cutting-edge research and insights into questions such as the interplay of centralization and knowledge complexity in decision-making, the effects of stress accumulation on organizational performance, the challenges and implications of scaling in digital platforms, and the evolution of hierarchy and span of control in new ventures. Overall, the symposium aims to shed light on the contingencies that improve or worsen decision quality, prevent organizational members' exhaustion, and provide practical implications for managers responsible for designing their organizational structures and scaling their new ventures.Centralization and Knowledge Complexity: A Model of Organizational Decision-Making / Author: Helge JD Klapper (Purdue University)
