Abstract: Various forms of organization have structured work and the distribution of jobs, skills and tasks. From the triumph of Fordism to more peripheral attempts at work organization, we have seen over the last few decades the advantages and many disadvantages of these usual forms of corporate organization. Today, another vision is emerging: that of liberated organizations. They are presented as the new aptitudes of companies in the face of uncertainty and erratic market variations. They are presented as the right answers to the many tensions in the workplace caused by economic globalization. It's almost become a totem that's brandished everywhere in insider circles of corporate managers and executives. Yet questions remain. Does this philosophy really work? Is it a model? Or is it just an illusion carried by enlightened scouts marked by the veil of their own illusions? Finally, is the liberated enterprise a delusion?
