Popis: The issue of organizational boundaries is a problem discussed from the beginning of the development of the theory of management sciences. Today, it seems that this issue should be subjected to a new conceptualization due to the growing importance of multidimensional spaces in which enterprises operate and the erosion of traditionally interpreted boundaries. At the same time, the notion of a boundary itself is an ambigous concept that derived from and rooted mainly in non-management sciences. Therefore, research on organizational boundaries requires an interdisciplinary approach. In the Polish management science environment, the discussion on border issues is clearly visible, although this is not a question that dominates the mainstream. The aim of the article is to contribute to a scientific discussion in the field of conceptualization of or-ganizational boundaries in the context of a changing reality. The article consists of an introduction, a part devoted to the analysis of organizational boundaries in the perspective of heterogeneous spaces and a part related to presenting the problem of the emergence of “new” boundaries. The whole is concluded with a summary. The article is a review based on interdisciplinary literature research.
