Managerial Solutions part 2: The Networked Organization

In this section we will examine another managerial solution: the Networked Organization. The Networked Organization, is a term that is used to describe a variety of new emergent organizational structures such as Virtual and Learning Organizations. In this case we view the networked organization as an organizational structure that relies on multiparty co-operative relationships between people across structural, temporal and geographic boundaries based on the existence of dense networks of flexible communications. In Ashkenas et al's terms (see books below) it is a Boundaryless Organization.

This view of the Networked Organization is consistent with that described by Cell 4 in the earlier model.
