  "abstract": "Much has been learned, and even more needs to be learned, about designing\norganizations and institutions. Since the 1960s this research has evolved\nfrom contingency to configuration, to complementarity, to complexity and creative\ntheories of organizing. This chapter reviews these evolving theories (better\ncalled perspectives) and urges scholars to return to the frontier of organization\nstudies by addressing an important new agenda in designing organizations\nwith promising new research methods.",
