Title: A new organizational imperative
Review: There is a colossal organization structure issue that large corproations haven't yet faced. It is that the basic tool and meme for organization - the organization chart with structure, jobs and reporting lines - can not function in the new world of open innovation, process-driven organization, collaborative networks and roles in processes rather than jobs in structures.Verna Allee has a novel solution in her concept of Value Networks. It passes the conceptual test by offering a new idea of how value is created via intangibles, and the credibility test by providing real-life, very large scale examples. She challenges us to think in an entirely new way about organization. She may have the answer for the 21st century, and you owe it to yourself to at least read it and consider it.
Is the review positive or negative?
