The
Bazaarmodel could probably be the management and organization
style in the third millennium and beyond.
The
Bazaarmodel, Organic (network) thinking, is based on the Complexity
Theory (Seeing the Whole and the Parts; simple
rules are responsible for the complexity of reality). Base
rules are Freedom, Honesty and Openness while trust bounds the
rules and Knowledge is the prime resource. Examples are the Linux
Project, Distribution developments (Mandriva,
Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE) and Open Source.
The
opposite is the Cathedralmodel, which operates mechanically. Materials are
the main resource for this model. The Cathedralmodel is based
on traditional thinking; reality is a linear clockwork device.
Base rules are Closed, Utopian and Control where fear binds the
rules together, where materials are the prime resource. Examples
are Intelligence Agencies and today's World Civilization.
Eliminating
the resource scarcity (upgrading
our world production platform) is the start of dismantling
the Cathedralmodel; when you are able to stop worrying about your
physical needs, you will have time to reflect upon yourself. |
