Définition

  • Structural secrecy refers to the concealment of information by the structural features of organizations: their size, complexity, geographic dispersion, social distance between members, and the specialization of knowledge, tasks, and language. The concept was first articulated by sociologist Diane Vaughan in her 1998 study of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) fatal decision to launch the space shuttle Challenger, which broke up shortly after launch in 1986.
