| Abstract: | Organizational structure has evolved from vertical integration to multidivisional, to the matrix, to the network, and now to the cellular. Like a living cell, an organization can live alone but can perform more complex functions if it acts in concert with other cells. In many cases, the most efficient way to act in concert is not through mergers but rather through alliances and networks. The downside is that contracts and ethics are more difficult to monitor in these relationships, as responsibility may be fragmented. To counter this, companies need to select ethical partners at the outset and then foster appropriate legal and ethical norms at the individual level and across the relationship. |
