The future trend in organizations is the spherical structure for network organizations. This shows up new needs not only in the way of implementing business methods, but also in the way of communicating with colegues and employees.
Traditionaly the flow of internal information in pyramid organizations has been top-down, from the higest hierarchical positions to the lower ones, in order to keep workers and colaborators informed about those aspect that are needed to fulfil their goals. This communication method has been combined with bottom-up styles, which allows the workers in the lower hierarchical positions to inform board members or superiors about the state of their projects, their feelings and motivation and their needs, to make easier the decision making proccess.
But now, in the new spherical structures this models of communication are not enough. Since we are part of a network, we do not have the same hierarchical structure and the decision making is not any more holded by the upper positions of herarchy. That's why new models of horizontal communication are used. This new communication system between entities on the same level is more efficient when is applied in the network structures because is faster and allows entities to find quick solutions, promotes team work environment, undestanding between individuals and also the feeling of found solutions together as a team.
Another challenge for the organization of the future!!
