The Distributed Enterprise is a model of a leaner, scalable organization with more responsibility and ethics than The Corporation. The Distributed Enterprise is also a Distributive Enterprise.
Problem Statement
Corporations as we know them are legalized irresponsibility (limited liability), responsible for ecocide, war, and genocide. Corporate structure facilitates such atrocities. For example, IBM sold business machines to concentration camps, companies pollute the environment, and the military's business model is death via taxation. We all participate in this scenario. There are various Critiques of the Corporation, which are prerequisite study to this. A solution lies in changing the rules of the game.
Solution
OSE proposes Distributed Enterprise. This is based on human insights that size matters (Small is Beautiful), that flexible production methods can be used rather than centralized production (The Second Industrial Divide), and learnings from Ghandian Economics that local production can oust invading colonials.
Responsibility and Ethics
The smaller an enterprise, structurally, it has more tendencies towards accountability and ethics. In megacorporations, it is easy for one hand not to know what the other is doing.
