Adhocracy
The term adhocracy (ger .: adhocracy ) designated as part of the configuration of Mintzberg , a form of organization , in contrast to the bureaucracy is. Alvin Toffler first made the term known in 1970 . Since then it has been widely used in management theory and often related to online organizations. The term was further developed in particular by Henry Mintzberg .
In the case of adhocracy, the operational core shrinks and the remaining organizational parts become value-creating. The name “Adhocracy” is derived from the Latin ad hoc , which can be translated as “out of the moment” or, more freely, as “specially created for this purpose”. Mintzberg describes this form as the most modern, as it has the greatest innovation potential and the greatest flexibility.
