Abstract :
In the previous two articles of this series on organizational interfaces, we considered intra-company and inter-company organizational interfaces in general. We now want to take one step back and dive deeper into the interfaces of a multi-site operation. In principle, this is a special case of an intra-company interface with many, if not all the complications of an inter-company interface. In particular, we concluded that as the distance increases between the core of your organizational group and your peers, the greater the difficulties in exchanging ideas and providing project-status information and coherence of action. This is true for distances in the geographical sense of kilometers or miles, but also figuratively speaking in terms of adherence and bonding.
