Reply to: Organizational forms

Mike;

Is there really an explosion of organizational forms, or are we simply
discovering what has been there all along?

Are the total number of such forms the permutations and combinations of
humans who are "available" to organize, or does mathematics play no part?
Are their a finite number of organizational forms?

Do organizational forms have a relation to the composition of the explicit
and implicit human form i.e. the physical, emotional and intellectual
"forms"?

Best regards,
