Abstract: Abstract Structure obviously influences a company’s performance. But what makes the difference over time is its mode of operation. In this regard, sustainable companies provide some interesting lessons. Indeed, experience shows that they follow certain principles such as autonomy in decision making, simplified and efficient processes, a frugal hierarchical structure, continuous learning, and careful use of outsourcing and external exchanges, and finally, an accountable control system.
