尽管网络在组织管理的研究和实践中越来越重要，但对于如何描述、解释和规定网络作为一种组织形式还没有达成共识。基于中国网络形态在其制度和文化背景下的证据，本文试图做出三个贡献。首先，它描述了网络作为一种独特的形式，不同于其他组织形式，因此需要一个新的视角。第二，综合经济理性、社会理性和心理理性，从整体性、动态性和悖论性的角度对网络形态进行解释。第三，它规定了理想的典型网络形式，提供了一个以地球为中心的组织形式框架，既不是文化盲（嵌入不足），也不是文化限制（过度嵌入）。
Despite its increasing importance to the research and practice of organizational management, there is no consensus on how to describe, explain and prescribe network as an organizational form. Based upon the evidence of the Chinese network form within its institutional and cultural contexts, this paper seeks to make three contributions. First, it describes network as a unique form, different from other organizational forms and thus needing a new perspective. Second, it explains network form from a holistic, dynamic and paradoxical perspective by synthesizing economic, social and psychological rationalities. Third, it prescribes the ideal-typical network form by offering a geocentric framework of organizational form which is neither culture-blind (under-embedded) nor culture-bounded (over-embedded).
