hierarchical structure may contain
underpinnings for modern organization
theory.

Alliances.
Teams.
Flatter, decentralized organizations.

patterns.

Self-organizing systems.
This modern structure includes
the linking of numerous,
separate organizations to
optimize their interaction in
order to accomplish a common, overall goal.

completely, or almost
completely, via
telecommunications.
It includes some values:
Everyone can be a source
of useful ideas.
Learning flows up and
down
New ideas are important and should be
promoted throughout the structure.
Mistakes should be viewed as learning
opportunities.
It have the ability to
continually change
their structure and
