Chameleon-like. This characteristic is perhaps the more elusive and intangible to discuss.But it is also the most intriguing as well as perplexing.Organizations and the environments in which they exist are in states of constant change. Such an oxymoron becomes real in the experiences of those engaged in work in organizations at the global level.Simply put,due to our limitations of being unable to comprehend global activities of the organization,we are constantly vulnerable to flux and variabilities coming from locations unknown to us. Our ability to perceive distal activities that impact the organization appear invisible to us for some time,until their proximal consequences impact on our immediate activities. The ever-changing milieu in which organizations exist and thrive suggests that a chameleon-like ability to adapt quickly to accommodate fluctuating conditions may bring a survival advantage.The implication is that open knowledge may foster this ability,in that as fluctuations become more recognized and anticipated,the global organization can “alter colors” to adapt quickly to change,thus ensuring its viability under such fluctuating conditions.
