               1.7   Boundaryless structure

               Boundaryless organisations are essentially an unstructured design that is not
               constrained by having a chain of command or formal departments, with the focus
               instead being on flexibility.


               There are a number of different types of boundaryless organisations that you need to
               be aware of.




                                                                                  Virtual

                        functions                                                       functions
                        into core                                                       and simply

                                                    components.

                                                    Each component
                                                    is made by the
