Introduction

Abstract

From the very beginning of organizational studies, the task of pointing out more appropriate models, forms, and types of organizations has been of general concern. This concern is evidenced by both descriptive and prescriptive objectives. In the first case, scholars have attempted to explain the phenomenon of organizations that have strengthened with time, mainly after the so-called Industrial Revolution. In the second case, other scholars have appeared with more pragmatically intentions, presenting rules, paths, or formulas for success in forming and maintaining organizations.
