    the areas however IT is perhaps the most
  • 00:00:45
    significant factor in influencing and

    top-down Authority construct that we
  • 00:01:07
    still see in traditionally structured
  • 00:01:09
    companies today mainly results in
  • 00:01:11
    employees communicating only with their
  • 00:01:12
    immediate subordinates and superiors
  • 00:01:15
    very little communication takes place

  • 00:02:06
    collaboration and operational changes

    with which areas and to what extent they

    need to share information has been a

    top-down structure organizations that
