Green communication and consumer electronics sustainability in delivering cost benefit business federation in professional service firms

Abstract

We present the business federation as a new organizational form using insights from business literature as means to tailor make services to clearly defined market segments. We illustrate how professional service firms can achieve economic growth through operating locally within an international network. Within the business federation local offices gain access to resources through an extreme form of delegation as it is not top management that delegates to local offices but rather local units that give top management the permission to handle certain tasks because it is most efficient this way. With these new realities existing strategies do not seem to provide the necessary cure. Firms must constantly innovate using insights from new organizational models. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media.
