A tectonic plate shift is under way in the world of organizations. The modern corporation as we have known it for the last hundred years or more is being redefined, reconfigured, and disaggregated. In the long term, this will have profound implications for many of us whose lives are somehow interdependent with firms. While the full details of the implications of the changed landscape will emerge in time, the Malone, Laubacher and Scott Morton-edited book—a series of twenty chapters written mainly by a group of MIT faculty members—is quite possibly the best and most comprehensive early look at this changing nature of the modern corporation and related issues.

Occasionally in the history of ideas there is a convergence around a radical and challenging agenda. Inventing the Organizations of the 21st Century is no mere compendium of occasional publications, but rather the exciting demonstration of just such a confluence: an extraordinary range of disciplines, unified by a common perspective that may come to define the 'MIT School.'
