Abstract

In the last twenty years the increased international competition in the wake of globalization has changed the methods of manufacturing, especially the structure and organization of a factory. More self-similarity among the enterprise, the groups and the employees, self-organization and self-optimization have arisen. For this structure the name Fractal Company has been used. Many companies are following this perception, but it is a long and difficult way to go which needs vision and leadership. Some examples are given here.
