The Emergence of Marginal Organizations in a Mainstream Society: Translating Influence into Strategy in an Effort to Drive the Marginal Organization’s Success

Abstract

On paper, marginal organizations can look a lot like mainstream organizations. They have structure and stakeholders, they engage in activities designed to achieve their mission and to produce results, again to maximize the organization’s chances of achieving its mission. Organizations from the two segments of society look alike but they are different. Very, very different.
