This volume is dedicated to the foundation for a general theory of organizing. The book will persistently challenge the reader’s understanding of time, position and what it means to be part of an infinite field.
Organizing is a continuous process of ongoing mutual or reciprocal influence between objects (e.g., human actors) in a field, whereby a field is infinite and connects all the objects in it much like electromagnetic fields influence atomic and molecular charged objects or gravity fields influence inanimate objects with mass such as planets and stars. In Network Field Model, human actors are modeled as point-like objects in the field. The influence between and investments in these point-like human objects are explained as energy exchanges (potential and kinetic), which can be described in terms of three different types of capital: financial (assets), human (the individual), and social (two or more humans in a network). This model is predicated on a field theoretical understanding of the world we live in. Authors use historical and contemporaneous examples of human activity and describe them in terms of the model.
