Book Chapter
Each era sees the emergence of a dominant model of management and a particular type of organization that goes with it. The author sees networked forms of organization as one of the main organizational innovations that have appeared since the early 1980s as a response to a new and continuously changing competitive environment. The label "networked forms of organization" is meant to capture three interrelated phenomena: Internal networks and team-based organizations have emerged and become increasingly important, as have the novel coordination and control challenges that come with them. Firms are developing and nurturing a wide portfolio of external collaborative relationships. These internal and external networks are enabled and mediated by new information and telecommunication capabilities and applications.
