The main purpose of this research was to discover the behavior of corporate organization. In order to accomplish this, the author reviewed research pertaining to organization theory and investigated five typical theories such as Organizational Ecology Theory, Institutional Theory, Resource Dependence Theory, Transaction Cost Theory and Organizational Network Analysis in this paper. Based upon the comparative study of the five organization theories mentioned above, and the economic theory of Sismonde de Sismondi, the author found that network analysis could be considered as a comprehensive effect perspective. Due to the advances in many application areas such as sociology, economics, and others, it has become increasingly apparent that the study of network organization is of crucial importance. Characters of quantitative measurement and qualitative analysis for network organization are explained in this paper. The new issue of the relationship between network analysis and the architecture of production system are referred to at the end of this paper.
