Information network is said to be able to exceed five walls. 1)the wall of time 2)the all of space 3)the wall of a large number 4)the wall of organization 5)the wall of mentality It is true, but in Japan, we have three walls to spread those network functions all over the company. 1)the wall of organization 2)the wall of culture 3)the wall of human-relations In Japan, businessmen have been trained to keep silent rather than to propose original ideas. Outstanding ideas usually bring something chaos in an organization. Japanese conventional leaders do not like such choas. Nowadays, however, Japanese business management can not avoid to change success pattern from "the Rising Countries Model(RCM)" to "the Advanced Countries Model(ACM)". In the RCM, growth was certain by duplicating advanced technologies and innovative products if they work hard and make some improvements only in operation field. In the ACM, however, originality or identification is essential. In information network days, originality or identification is also an important factor. So, the culture of Information Network is similar to that of the ACM. Here, we have a problem that it is difficult to change the operation oriented management(that is RCM) to the originality oriented management(taht is ACM). This big change can be performed only by a powerful top management not by able middle management's. In the ACM, flat and horizontal organization is appropriate. Horizontal organization means three tiers formulation. Three tiers indicate Top management・Division head・Team leader. In the ACM, organization must be down-sizing. That is, one division has to be smaller than 50 members and consists of several teams which are composed of less than 10 members. A big company who has thousands of employees will be divided to hundreds of Profit Centers. And hundreds of Divisions will be integrated by means of Info-Net. Japanese complicated organization that admits plural responsibilities will be trandformed to be simple as to survive in the ACM era. In such an organization, the principle of self-responsibility will be severe. So, you will be allowed to work at home by your own choice supported by Info-Net. But the results of your work will be estimated strictly by your team mates before evaluated by a Division manager. You will have to attend business seminars paying your own money if you feel value to take it. Whether you want or not, the tide of multimedia and globalization will bring about self-responsibility business work style as such.
