Titre :  Thinking informal. Non-concept or meta-concept for management?
Numéro :  43
Année :  2011
Volume :  XVII
Auteur(s) :  François GEOFFROY
Résumé :  The aim of this paper is to explain the concept of informal within organizations. To that purpose we use two complementary theories: the organization theory and the institutional theory. In spite of undeniable contributions, informal remains inevitably linked with different concepts such as informal organization or informal institution. Few researches consider informal as a theoretical object. Thus we try to theorize informal and to understand this controversial concept. We conclude that informal because of its importance and interdisciplinarity has to be seen as a meta-concept in the study of organizations.
