The opposite of formal management and hierarchy isn't "self-management" and "self-organization" but informal power structures and hierarchies. Ultimately, less security and more social pressure and control for the individual. Brave new world of work.
- mauricemir 11y agoYes non conformists do not do well in these sort of organizations

- angelbob 11y agoIt's an interesting idea. It has many standard pitfalls, as a 1970s paper, "The Tyranny of Structurelessness" points out: http://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm http://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm Basically, informal systems are, by their nature, harder to regulate. And "unregulated" is not the same as "works well and fairly."
