THE FANCY WORD: ADHOCRACY
This term was coined fairly recently, in 1968, by Warren Bennie, an American scholar who is considered to be a pioneer in leadership, judging by his book entitled Temporary Society. Subsequently, this notion has evolved into a business model that has been adopted by a series of Internet organizations.
Originally, it derives from the Latin” Ad hoc,”( for this) which has been utilized frequently with the meaning of “for this situation only,” in other words, for a special purpose but without anticipation.
Generally speaking, Adhocracy represents an organization or business management that has little or no structure, contrary to bureaucracy which is based on well-defined rules and hierarchies. In addition, it stands for the need of the moment, individual initiative, flexibility, or self-organized enterprises. This type of American culture resonates well with creation and innovation through tech companies and most start-ups. To be more specific, this corporate culture which offers the opportunity to adapt and act quickly, in terms of changing conditions, can be seen at Apple, Facebook, and Google without omitting Tesla. All of these companies prosper with adhocratic values and by the same token help maintain the American socio-economic standard.
To illustrate, NASA exemplifies that business whose main purpose was to land on the moon under a deadline. But without much ingenuity, brainstorming, flexibility, and rapidity it would have been far-fetched as a pressing endeavor.
In the end, Adhocracy is almost always successful where the money is from the outset, which allows the acquisition of young and fresh entrepreneurs at their pic who are not reticent to push the envelope, so to speak. Ordinarily, adhocracy involves individuality and risk-taking. However, the latter can be risky because not all Enterprises are successful. Another word of caution is the lack of formal structure which could make the work environment somewhat messy. If you are satisfied with this piece, please share it with your loved ones and friends.
