当前管理学的研究对象日益单调,去中心化自治组织(DAO)的出现可遇而不可求,它在提供新视角的同时也是一次检验既有理论的机会。DAO是一种基于区块链技术运行的新型组织形式,它不存在中央集权式的领导者或管理机制,而是通过智能合约实现自我控制,并借助代币实现人机共治。业界普遍关注DAO对公司制的可替代性,学界的研究则刚开始,多学科背景下尚缺乏管理学视角的基础理论分析。本文在界定DAO相关概念的基础上,深入分析了DAO与公司制的异同,发现其概念源于古典决策理论,其行为符合无边界组织、虚拟组织和网络组织的基本特征;进而从委托代理、民主制度、信息不对称、去中心化四个角度分析DAO的缺陷,指出DAO治理中存在“去中心化—高效决策—唯一共识”不可能三角;最后探讨了DAO对组织边界的贡献与价值。本研究旨在在新兴现象和传统理论之间构筑桥梁,借以增进产学两界的相互参考。
