“I think Arrow’s the The Limits of Organization is an excellent book — the book ought to be, though isn’t, standard reading for any budding organizational scholar. Here’s a nice piece by Cremer, Garicano and Prat (in QJE) that formalizes some of Arrow’s intuition around “organizational codes,” along with discussing implications for organizational form: “Language and the theory of the firm.” The Cremer et al piece also has some links to this excellent article (gated, jstor) by Nick Argyres on coordination in the production of B-2 bombers.”
