A chapter in Blurring the Boundaries Through Digital Innovation, 2016, pp 9-20 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The digital revolution is impacting many aspects of the society. Collaboration tools are challenging the traditional hierarchical model thanks to pervasive computing and always connected devices. Organizations are transforming to take advantage and to adapt to this new paradigm. When creativity and innovation are critical to the success of a company, flattened hierarchies and decentralized cooperation can leverage human talent better. With this paper the author aims to provide a literature review to highlight the historical and philosophical deployment of the different approaches to the relationship between ICT and Organization Design. This is the first step of a research project aiming at proposing emergent new organization design approach.
