Dieses Buch betrachtet Organisationen aus einem neuen Blickwinkel. In geringem Umfang behandelt es neue Gesellschaften, die auch als virtuelle oder Franchise-Gesellschaften bezeichnet werden. Der Schwerpunkt liegt jedoch darauf, alte Gesellschaften in einem neuen Licht zu betrachten; sie zu vergrößern und neue Gesellschaften zu schaffen, die konventionelle Grenzen überschreiten. Ziel des Buches ist es, eine Perspektive zu entwickeln, die es dem Leser ermöglicht, Gesellschaftsstrukturen künftig besser zu verstehen und diese weiterzuentwickeln. (10/97)
