Seemingly straightforward view of hybridity as organisations is deceptive, as the organisations-based view cannot take into account the nature of multiple hybrid arrangements in societies

We move beyond hybridity as hybrid organisations. Being fully aware of the importance of organisational thinking, we have introduced some difficulties in understanding hybridity merely through organisational foci. To us, the seemingly straightforward view of hybridity as organisations is deceptive, as the organisation-based view cannot take into account the nature of multiple hybrid arrangements in societies.
