Abstract: The work consists in explaining the microeconomic perspective (the approach) of the economy based on knowledge; and here we refer closely to the structural and economic changes produced at the level of the modern organizations. In the first part of the work I made a short presentation of the changes produced in the last two-three decades, changes which created a reality in which the old life style and the technical industrial production manner find less and less place; determining the knowledge and the information as resources, is at the basis of this reality called economy based on knowledge. The indistinguishable passing from an economy based on material resources to an economy based on knowledge had and will have a series of consequences which aren’t yet sufficiently clear. But it is obvious that there are not only positive effects, but also negative effects, and as regards the organization the effects are remarkable. The second part of the work tries precisely to concentrate on the main genetic mutations generated by the economy based on knowledge at the microeconomic level. At the microeconomic level, the changes take place mostly in the organizational structures and algorithms. The explosion of the computer networks and the Internet impose that certain intermediate levels between chiefs and subordinates be forced to disappear; in this direction will probably make for in future, the structure/the shape of the organization charts of all the modern organizations; this means the decentralization of the organizational structures (or the federalization of the great corporations).
