摘要

The shift in strategy from vertical integration to strategic alliances has developed hand in hand with the evolution of organizational structure from the vertically integrated firm to the network and the boundaryless organization. The forces driving this evolution have been the need for greater coordination and information processing, occasioned by the increasing speed of change and the complexity of the environment. The result has been the elimination of bound- aries, more flexible organizations, and a greater interaction among individuals and organizations. The modern network organization is credited with requiring less capital, having less overhead expense, being able to utilize technology from various sources, being more entrepreneurial, and being able to act more quickly. On the negative side, the specialization of firms in single areas of competence has resulted in fragmentation of the value chain and of ethical and legal responsibility. The conditions in the environment (turbulence and complexity) that brought us these flexible organizational structures will not go away. On the contrary, they are likely to accelerate. Network structure may evolve into the cellular structure, as predicted, and the problem of establishing ethical and legal responsibility in a network or cellular structure will continue to be important. The solution seems to lie in the development of relationships and cultures that are functional not only in terms of business success but also in terms of legal and ethical norms. Once these relationships become embedded in the network, they can sustain constructive and ethical conduct. Individual decision-makers in the network must accept responsibility for creating these constructive relationships. The outcomes in networks are not random occurrences or the product of deterministic forces, as the population ecology model might suggest. Decision-makers do not lose strategic choice when they enter into a network structure. Organizational actors can maintain a climate of ethical responsibility by choosing ethical partners, by using their power and influence to block unethical conduct, and by creating an environment with an ethical dimension. Strategy and structure have undergone radical change, but one thing has not changed: organizational outcomes, for better or worse, are still the responsibility of human actors.
