Abstract
Recent developments in organizational analysis have done much to fill out the dry, textbook image of rational,formal structures, Yet on one of the commonest kinds of organizational experience-friendship-organizational analysis has remained virtually silent. By contrast, within the wider social science literature some writers have recently accorded greater importance to friendship as a social phenomenon. This article suggests that organizational analysis would be well served by doing the same. To this end, the article explores what this might entail and identifies some of the issues that it could illuminate, both empirically and theoretically. In particular, it presents friendship as a folk concept, which recognizes the situational variability of its form, experience, and connectedness with other forms of relationship. In doing so, the article will help define and open lip a focus for future research into friendship and organizational analysis.
