Formal organization (the set of interactions mandated through formal authority inside an organization) and informal structure (the dynamic pattern of interactions which emerges out of individuals’ own volition) are inherently related, yet have traditionally been treated separately by management scholars. This symposium showcases research which embraces the interplay between formal and informal structures, and emphasizes its importance for the performance of organizations. Presentations will showcase different facets of this interplay, and different methods through which it can be investigated. The symposium will conclude with discussions by scholars whose work has greatly contributed to the emergence of work in this domain, who will reflect on the opportunities and challenges for future research and stimulate dialog with members of the audience.
