“Adhocracy” is the reason why I work in Tech (and why I do enjoy it).
It’s a business management and corporate culture model based on the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions. Adhocracies are characterized by flexibility, employee empowerment and an emphasis on individual initiative.
According to Robert E. Quinn and Kim S. Cameron at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, there are four types of organizational culture: Clan, Adhocracy, Market, and Hierarchy.
- Clan oriented cultures are family-like, with a focus on mentoring, nurturing, and “doing things together.”
¥ - Adhocracy oriented cultures are dynamic and entrepreneurial, with a focus on risk-taking, innovation, and “doing things first.”
¥ - Market oriented cultures are results oriented, with a focus on competition, achievement, and “getting the job done.”
¥ - Hierarchy oriented cultures are structured and controlled, with a focus on efficiency, stability and “doing things right.”
All cultures promote some forms of behavior, and inhibit others. Some are well suited to rapid and repeated change, others to slow incremental development of the institution.
For example, Quinn and Cameron associate the lower two cultures (Hierarchy and Market) with a principal focus on stability and the upper two (Clan and Adhocracy) with flexibility and adaptability. A Hierarchy culture based on control will lead mainly to incremental change, while a focus on Adhocracy will more typically lead to breakthrough change.
