it has become a commonplace to say that the world is changing at an ever-


increasing pace. Companies today are faced with a stark choice adapt or go under.
For example, four decades ago, companies typically tended to be 
hierarchical. They were built on a model which achieved a high degree of control,
but in which channels of communication were few and slow. Another
disadvantage of this type of organisation is that more junior staff may not even
know who the CEO is, or what goals the decision-makers are trying to achieve. In
order to try to solve this problem, many organisations have adopted a
less bureaucratic, more flexible business culture in which frequent contact
between the owner and the employees ensures that information is flowing
smoothly. A second difficult choice for a company concerns the extent to which it
should go global or remain local. Global operations allow maximum  economies of
scale, while localisation makes it possible to respond quickly and to reach all
market sectors. In order to reduce the tension between global and local demands,
many companies have adopted a 'hub and spoke' structure. They use several
regional production and manufacturing distribution 'hubs' where neighbouring
markets are serviced from one single location.
