The present report examines the academic literature on ‘organizational space,’ which addresses the built dimensions of organizations. The review has both descriptive and analytical components. The aim was two-folded, first to describe the theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and empirical findings of a core sample of publications. Second, to scrutinize how the built environment is used to manage organizations. The findings of empirical studies are analyzed through a structure-agency lens that is identified as a central debate in the field, and the final discussion emphasizes how future research may benefit from establishing what is managed, how it is managed, and who is managing it when studying the role of the built environment in management and organization.
