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.
