The conflict-laden contrast between the individual and the collective is a fundamental constant of any form of organization. The book reconstructs four traditional, fundamental forms of the relationship or integration of the individual and the organization, which are exemplarily illuminated based on specific organizational theoretical positions. This reconstruction aims to help understand how previous organizational science approaches and orientations have conceived and designed the relationship between the two, as well as the specific advantages and disadvantages that come with it. The extraction of generic, timeless principles of integration allows for the continuous achievement of new balances and the development of appropriate design options.
