Company Structures<br />
Another aspect of change is company‘s structures.<br />
Traditional hierarchical structures have also given<br />
way to a more flexible, flat system; horizontal organizations.<br />
In other words, the level of power distance<br />
in companies is fading. The modern organizations<br />
are borderless organizations where networking and<br />
collaborating is more frequent than ever. Organization‘s<br />
are becoming for well-suited for rapid innovation<br />
and the agile response to customer needs.<br />
A common criticism of the modern organization is<br />
that they are unstable. They are dynamic but rely<br />
on constant change to grow. In short, company’s<br />
structures are reflective of modern society. People<br />
are becoming more liberal and power distances are<br />
closing, thus horizontal organizations become more<br />
frequent.<br />
To conclude, the concept of “work” has changed<br />
drastically over the last decade, and work as we<br />
know it today will most likely have changed in the<br />
same manner over the next 50 years. Before the<br />
Internet existed, the idea of someone making a living<br />
from a computer was probably ridiculed. Look at<br />
where we are today, people can work from one country<br />
and have a business in another that sources their<br />
product in a third country. That is kind of amazing.<br />
It is impossible to foresee where “work” will take<br />
us next. All we know is that we adapt, and work will<br />
adapt alongside us.<br />
