16: Contingency Theory - Lawrence and Lorsch (Part 2)

Join us as we conclude our discussion of Contingency Theory of organizations, as outlined by Lawrence and Lorsch in their 1967 paper on integration and differentiation. In part 2 we finish up our deliberation on the nature of the environments, puzzle over what are the integrative devices, touch upon power and authority and finish up by proposing some practical take-aways that contingency theory has to offer a modern scholar and/or practitioner!
