Taking It to the Extremes
Taking It to the Extremes
Transparent and Dark Organizations
Having put forth a framework to describe a wide range of organizations on the basis of how they and their members communicate identity to various audiences, this chapter examines the two most extreme categories (transparent and dark organizations) and their fundamentally opposite regions. The chapter describes the transparent region generally and then looks specifically at the Roman Catholic Church and Royal Dutch Shell as two organizations operating primarily in that space. The chapter also describes dark organizations generally and then examines two clandestine terrorist groups and men’s bathhouses as examples of collectives located primarily in this region. For both regions, socialization processes are examined.
