A few class sessions ago I noticed that the debate was moving towards whether or not organizations should be set up in a hierarchy or somewhat democratic. Dr Fawson and Daniel Pink are argueing for the implimentation of democracy in any organization, but I think that everything needs a hierarchy. Although I think that having a democratic corporation is a fantastic way to encourage new ideas, I believe that all companies have to have some sort of hierarchy. Even if the entire company is in a democratic setup, the final word in any production is the customer. Although so many fantastic ideas are circulated and encouraged throughout a company that is structured democratically, they will have no success unless they can appeal to the customer. Even if the whole company has a democratic model, the hierarchy comes into play when the good or service hits the market. Yes, it would be fantastic if every company model is democratic within the company, but that doesn't help to sell your product. Hierarchy is necessary in any given organization.
