Abstract
A theoretical framework for analyzing the context, structure, process, and performance of complex organizations is developed. An attempt is made to (1) define and relate selected properties of macro and micro organization design and performance, (2) identify and compare different design patterns within a complex organization, and (3) explore how these differentiated patterns are linked as an intra-organizational network.Keywords
