The Fuzzy Firm: The New Networked Organization In The Gig Economy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789082012316)

The essence of our enterprises is changing by the advance of technology; why we produce, what we produce, and how we produce. Where the 20th century corporation focused on efficient production using labor and capital, the firm of 21st century will co-create and innovate using knowledge, networks, and entrepreneurship. This book describes the imminent transformation of our firms from stable hierarchies to fluid networks. The project will become the dominant form of organization, large corporations will disintegrate in new network forms such as communities and crowds and new labor relations will emerge as innovation will become more important than organizational loyalty. During this transformation the boundary of the organization will become blurred; the fuzzy firm is born. Based on a thorough top-down analysis of technology developments and knowledge firms this book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the future of organization.
