Stage Management: The Case of Nonemployer Firms
Stage Management: The Case of Nonemployer Firms
This case study of nonemployer firms illustrates the characteristics of all-edge adhocracies. These one- to two-person firms must assemble a temporary team of subcontractors to tackle each job, manage and coordinate them, and stage-manage them so that the subcontractors don’t undermine the firm’s performance. And they have to do all of this with very little leverage over the subcontractors. This chapter examines how these all-edge adhocracies work, succeed, and fail.
Keywords: nonemployer firms, front stage, back stage, stage management, subcontractor networks, swift trust
