New Forms of Organization
New structures
The new people management relationships proposed by management writers such as Tom Peters are different from the formal, 'top-down' command structures seen in traditional
organizations. Modern technology allows us to develop organizations which are
differentiated - allowing local flexibility and autonomy - but highly integrated at
the same time.
Networks
Networks and networking have a number of distinct
meanings in HRM. In this context the terms are employed in an analagous
fashion to their use in computing. It is not necessary and probably not
a good idea for organizations to perform all their functions in-house.
Businesses can concentrate on their individual strengths and work as alliances
or business partners to provide a service or manufacture a product.
