That's true. But unlike your correct framing, the article goes out of its way to claim universality rather than describe the conditions where it's approximately true. "... can we determine the supervenience of some set of factors on organizational performance, not just in a particular context but across all possible organizations? That is, are there necessary, a priori truths of organizational performance? [..] As it happens, there are." I think they, and we, know that 'all possible organizations' does not mean what it says, and that's my objection. It's not a big deal, just inexact writing, or possibly inexact thinking if they mean it, which I doubt. They mean 'organizations sufficiently large to be organized into units with fungible roles'.
