| Abstract: | Historically major organizational innovations have been associated with the emergence of new industries. The high-technology firms in California's Silicon Valley represent a novel organizational regime, one which is designed to provide a sense of focus, increase the firm's speed of response to emerging developments, and facilitate the continuous adjustment of organizational arrangements in accordance with situational imperatives. "Stratocracy" is defined as "rule by the doers". The distinguishing features of the high-technology arena are examined, the structural characteristics of high-tech firms are described, and stratocracy with other organizational regimes is contrasted. |
