Organized Complexity

Conventions of Coordination and the Composition of Economic Arrangements

Laurent Thévenot

ÉCOLE DES HAUTES ÉTUDES, PARIS

This article introduces a framework which aims at capturing the complexity of economic organizations. The analysis of most legitimate conventions of coordination results in a new approach to the firm as a compromising device between several modes of coordination which engage different repertoires of evaluation. This contribution to the Économie des conventions offers an analytical tool to operate comparative research on firms, intermediate regulatory committees or public policies.

Key Words: cognition • coordination • economic organizations • evaluation • order of worth
