Siobhán O'Mahony, speaking at the Comparative Organizations Conference about Katherine Chen's work on Burning Man, noted that the organizers of the project had formed a limited liability company called Black Rock City, LLC.
Does this strike you as incongruous? Perhaps. After all, the essence of Burning Man is spontaneity ("There are no rules about how one must behave or express oneself at this event (save the rules that serve to protect the health, safety, and experience of the community at large); rather, it is up to each participant to decide how they will contribute and what they will give to this community."). And yet, the need for organization for such a vast undertaking is obvious. I suppose the question is: why this form of organization? Why not a non-profit corporation?
