If with decades behind, the organization of the company could remain unchanged for a long period of time, even in conditions of economic crisis or economic growth, in present the situation is totally different because of the dynamic rhythm of economic and social life. In order to face and to adapt to all these changes, the companies have to modify their management and organizational structures. In other words the change in organizations must be first a way to act at the frequent changes in the business environment, requirements and opportunities that can appear, not an objective that must be achieved. The ease with which firms adapt to environmental changes depends on their organizational structures and flexibility.
