About the Speaker

 

 

 

Are hierarchical organizations "mammoths" in the modern economy?

Summary

I analyze the circumstances that limit replacement of large companies by network organizations. It is noted that the network organizations themselves often have hierarchical qualities that is shown in subordination of partners in network. In particular, I investigate how the variability of the economic environment influences the rational balance of centralization and decentralization in coordination of economic activity. Dynamic qualities of the environment when comparing organizational structures at first are hold fixed, then – vary. It is shown that the decentralization is not the universal answer to variability of the economic environment. However, the combination of elements of the hierarchical and network relations within large firms promotes their adaptation to the changing dynamic qualities of the environment. Such combination helps business diversification, transition to formation of new markets instead of adaptation to market conditions. As a result, I present organizational measures of the companies implementing the strategy of “the blue ocean”.

Keywords: digital economy, innovations, hierarchical organizations, network organizations, centralization, decentralization, technological revolution.

Annual Dean Pashkus Readings

 

The foundation of the new faculty was initiated by an outstanding scholar and renowned research university. Not surprisingly, the leading professor of the Faculty of Economics Yury V. Pashkus (1939-1996), known for his research work on the foreign economy, especially on German financial and banking system, was invited to chair such an innovative faculty.

Over a short period from 1993 to 1996 Yury V. Pashkus being the Dean organizing new faculty, succeeded in creating the foundations of all future research directions. His last monograph on the real estate market, co-written with his numerous students, was published at the time when he was gone.

Since 1996 the SPbU GSOM hosts traditional Pashkus Readings on the last Friday of October. During this event the faculty and researchers of the School commemorate Yury V. Pashkus contribution to the creation of SPbU GSOM.

Since 2006 under the Decision of the Academic Council of September 6, 2006 (Protocol 1) the format of Pashkus Readings has changed. In order to increase the value the Readings since then consist of one hour lecture on basic or applied management problems with the subsequent opponents speech, questions and discussion.
