Organizations are increasingly adopting learning organization structures characterized by shared information, horizontal structures, empowered employees, and collaborative strategies. Shared information is important for learning organizations because it allows employees to adapt to changes more quickly. An organization's approach to information sharing is also related to its structure, tasks, strategy, and culture. Additionally, organizations aim to align their internal characteristics like structure and strategy with external environmental factors, as described by the Miles and Snow typology. Virtual network structures distribute activities across organizational boundaries and provide benefits like flexibility but also coordination challenges.
