What the paper says

This paper develops a framework comprising a typology of distinct approaches to understanding the development of maverick organization design ideas: design science, life-cycle, dramaturgical and translation. These approaches represent influential but distinct research traditions that vary substantially in their primary assumption of envisioned outcomes and drivers of design knowledge development. Yet, in combination, the insights from these approaches extend research into design theory, as well as provide a broader and more integrative basis for management practitioners to adequately dealing with new maverick organization design ideas.
