Abstract

Corporations have been extensively studied from a variety of theoretical perspectives. The evolution of these perspective has been in the direction of a reification of organizations. Corporations are now expected to be all things to all constituencies including adopting the norms of the society in which they reside. Constituency management is a significant contributing factor to the complexity of corporations. This paper reviews the various competing perspectives on corporate complexity, and looks at the gaps in how constituencies are addressed. We propose a model which combines the various perspectives emphasizing the human corporation with all the several aspects of complexity
