Information-Based Organization Management Problems
1. Developing rewards, recognition, and career opportunities for specialists:
Generally specialists’ career opportunities lie within the specialty. There are few managementpositions available in I.B. Organizations so they are more likely to go to another company thatneeds their specialization.
2. Creating unified vision in an organization of specialists:
A business needs a view of the whole and a focus on the whole to be shared among a great manyof its professional specialists. It will have to foster the pride and professionalism of its specialists.

Information-Based Organization Management Problems
3. Devising the management structure for an organization of task forces:
The information-based organization will use self governing units that are assigned tasks.This creates a problem of who the business managers will be. Task force leaders?Administrative leaders?Is it an assignment or a position? Does it carry any rank?Might the task force leader eventually replace department heads or vice presidents?
This would give rise to yet another organizational structure.
4. Creating unified vision in an organization of specialists:
The toughest problem. With the removal of many middle management positions, where will topexecutives come from?
Top management jobs will be filled by hiring them from other companies. Management Careers.
