The vision of eliminating hierarchy was compelling, and the change initiatives many
of them enabled by emerging information technologies-shook business markets
and the organizations within them to their foundations. But take a walk around
most large, established firms, or talk with executives from established industries, and
it soon becomes clear that the "hierarchy" is far from dead. Yet, when asked what
their companies or industries should look like, most executives call immediately for
new capabilities that enable them to work more effectively and efficiently within
more diffuse and fluid business networks that are popularly called "ecosystems."
