Organized systems can be studied from two fundamentally different perspectives. The descriptive perspective aims at analyzing, explaining, and/or at least partially predicting the behaviors of organizations and organization actors as empirical phenomena. This perspective domi- nates in the social sciences. Examples from the domain of organization sciences are studies that explain why certain organization solutions are less or more successful than others under specific circumstances. Such “causal” explanations may or may not include predictions of success.
