本文对经济学家研究价值和社会学家研究价值的学科分工提出了质疑，并否定了经济学家研究经济和社会学家研究经济所嵌入的社会关系的约定。经济社会学的核心任务之一是发展价值社会学。我通过讨论一种新的组织形式的出现来探讨这些主题：heterarchy。等级制的特点是横向负责和组织多样性。在他们身上，我们发现了异质性评价原则的积极竞争，因为行动者在多个网络中操纵，试图拥有在多个价值体系中合法化的资源。这种组织创新的例子来自对后社会主义匈牙利公司交叉所有权组合的纵向研究，以及我最近对曼哈顿硅谷新媒体公司战略联盟的研究。
This paper questions the disciplinary division of labor whereby economists study value and sociologists study values; and it rejects the pact whereby economists study the economy and sociologists study the social relations in which economies are embedded. One of the core tasks of economic sociology is to develop a sociology of worth. I explore these themes by discussing the emergence of a new organizational form: heterarchy. Heterarchies are characterized by lateral accountability and the organization of diversity. In them we find an active rivalry of heterogeneous principles of evaluation as actors manuver in multiple networks by attempting to hold resources that are legitimated in more than one regime of worth. Examples of such organizational innovations are drawn from a longitudinal study of the intersecting ownership portfolios of firms in postsocialist Hungary and from my recent research on strategic alliances among new media firms in Manhattan’s Silicon Valley.
