By Denis Maillard on ParisTech Review
Jusqu'à ces dernières décennies, l'entreprise disposait d'une unité de lieu. L'entreprise de demain sera marquée par une unité de temps, celui d'un projet, d'un contrat, d'un marché, mais sans unité de lieu puisque les salariés pourront se trouver à des milliers de kilomètres de distance, dans des bureaux disjoints, ou chez eux en télétravail. Travailler, alors, ce n'est plus se retrouver avec d'autres dans un lieu construit pour cela, mais se mettre en réseau et organiser une sociabilité commune. L'idée même de l'entreprise y survivra-t-elle?
Up to recent decades, the enterprise was characterized by a unity of place. Enterprises tomorrow will be characterized by a unity of time, that needed for a project, for a small and large scale contracts, but with no unity of place, inasmuch as the workers can be thousands of kilometres away, in third party office premises or at home, in a remote tele-work mode. Working no longer consists of collaborating with colleagues in a given place built for this purpose, but rather networking with others and organizing a shared sociability. The question is: will the very concept of enterprise survive?
