Heirarchies - Networks - Markets

The thesis here is that radical changes are taking place in the way business is organised which must be understood if we are to sucessfully participate in determining our future. I first approached to this topic in From Heirarchy to Web. For present purposes I need to dig a bit deeper in this area.

Trend from Large to Small companies maybe!
Accelerated by improving global networks which improve the effectiveness of the market.
Progressive elimination of command heirarchies at least, where there is substantial intellectual, creative or entrepreneurial element.
Find market solutions, not bureaucratic ones. .. not just using contractors instead of employees. Some ideas on how NOT to, some ideas on how to.

OUT with centrally controlled command economies
IN with free-market capitalism
BUT the theory is defective
AND the reality is changing fast
the FREE MARKET is EVOLVING e.g., into an information warground.
