Organization Design Community (ODC) is an international community of academics, executives, and internal/external consultants dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of organization design. Established in 2011, ODC seeks to be the preeminent community where research, practice, and learning intersect to produce valuable design knowledge and applications. ODC is a collaborative community in which members create and share knowledge.

Publications

The Journal of Organization Design (JOD), established in 2012, is the official journal of the Organization Design Community.[ ] JOD is the only journal that focuses solely on the topic of organization design. It provides contributors with a wide variety of formats with which to present their ideas and research: research articles, point of view, translational, research primer, commentaries, and the Organization Zoo series. Since January 2016, Journal of Organization Design has been published by SpringerOpen.[ ]

Reflecting the founding editors Børge Obel and Charles Snow’s vision for the journal, JOD publishes novel, forward-looking, and rigorous work that expands the foundations of organization design as well as offers new ideas on design-related topics. Key topics discussed in the journal are innovation, collaboration, technology, control and coordination, fit, contingency, research methods, and new organizational forms. [ ]
