The End of the Organization? An Article by Michael C Gilbert
Dear HumanDHS network friends
Please find here a link to the article ‘The End of the Organisation?’
Maybe organisations are evolving into different forms (rather than ending) with equal dignity being the evolutionary driver!
Kind regards

The End of the Organization?
By Michael C. Gilbert, February 7th, 2008
Introductory paragraph:
The predominant unit of interest in civil society has been and remains the organization, followed at a distance by the geographic community. Studies present their results in terms of the number of organizations that exhibit some pattern or other. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested both inside and outside of government to gather and present information about organizations. When people think of working in civil society, they think of working for an organization. When they think of contributing, they frame their choices in terms of which organizations they will volunteer for or donate to.
