Danobat is a blending of two words in Basque and means roughly "all one.”
The traditional hierarchical corporate growth pattern creates more and more levels of administrators who are more and more removed from the product or service the firm is offering. In addition, they represent more and more administrative overhead costs. Shared entrepreneurship firms grow concentrically, just as a hen and chicks plant does. In the early stages of growth, they can and do share resources similar to how the hen sends out runners to establish a chick.
