Jon,

Thanks for your suggestions. My article is more or less a “dump” of my accumulated general knowledge. I don’t know if I am up to the task of adequately researching the works of Emery, Weisbord, or others in order to fill in what I’m sure are many gaps in the material I covered.

If there are a few relevant articles you could point me to I would be happy to read them and at least to add them to the resources section.

Comprehensive.

And it may be that there are a few seminal pieces from the OD (organizational development) world that may add aspects of touchstone principles to your essay. I’m thinking here mainly of work by Fred Emery (participative work design) and Marvin Weisbord (Productive Workplaces – organizing for meaning, dignity and community” and “Future Search – getting the whole system in the room”

What I see in this article is that organization and structure are nearly the same. That is structure always precedes organization, ergo organization always be leagued to a certain form of institutionalization. This leads to the final question: does CAS have a structure or they evolve freely in time? I think that if you attach to certain kind of institution you are not in a CAS world, you are in the traditional hierarchy fixed world.
