Requisite Organization Theory also known as Stratified Systems Theory offers
a rigorous approach to organizing, with a specificity which might appeal to
many system dynamists but also for that reason is abhorred by many
organizational and behavioral academics and professionals, who might be more
"flavor of the month"-oriented. Most of the basic research in the field was
done in the 50-80s, with such a finality that there was little to add.

There is a huge bibliography (>500 pages) as well as books and articles
available at http://www.globalro.org/
