Abstract
Support for new forms of organization and social interaction requires understanding the influence of structure on behavior. Goal dependencies indicate some relationship between roles, through which actions can be coordinated. Social relationships determine different types of power links between roles. Efficient coordination requires that goal dependency and power structure are well tuned to each other. In this paper, we will investigate what is the exact nature of this relationship between roles in an organization and what are the consequences of different structure forms. We will also see what is the difference if the relations are not hierarchical but organized through a market or network structure.
