Overview

Analysis reveals changing perceptions of community among hyper-organizations, indicating evolving stakeholder roles.

Key Points

  • The analysis indicates that organizations increasingly portray themselves as community-oriented, adapting their narratives.
  • Evidence from 300 annual reports shows a correlation between organizational identity and the use of abstract notions of community.
  • This observational analysis covers a span of 50 years, highlighting societal shifts toward viewing organizations as communities.
  • The findings suggest a paradox where rationalization fosters emotional connections to community despite its abstract representation.
