Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper argues that taking communication as a primary focus of theory and research leads to new insights on the nature of organization, as currently displayed in studies of strategy, institutionalization, boundary objects, discourse and materiality. Communicatively, an organization is both a configuring of practices, each with its own interactive modes of exchange, and a corporate legal person whose ‘voice’ becomes, paradoxically, a component of that same discursive geography. The ‘paradox’ dissolves, however, in a communicative theory, which argues that organizational identity, and its personhood, are established in the same way as those of individuals. The article then presents an original vision of organization as an ‘imbrication’ of domains of discourse out of which layers of identity emerge. The primary mechanism responsible for coherence of purpose and identity is authority, in that the persons of both organization and members must be continually “authored” for them to exist. The article concludes with a brief discussion of the implications of taking a communicative approach for future research.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
