But organisational investments in flexibility long preceded the emergence of fluidity. The fluid organisation is a radical transition from the 20th century industrial enterprise. Its flexibility has been enabled by transitioning from a structure that is heavy in fixed assets and that has functional managerial demarcations into one that is eminently changeable and capable of real-time product shifts, service diversification and competitive re-orientation. At times, competition as well as co-operation can be present with other market incumbents. From the early 1970s to the late 1980s, manufacturing and service enterprises invested extensively in a variety of flexible organisational technologies (FOTs). Logistics-based technologies, such as material requirements planning (MRP), developed into comprehensive rationalisation systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems (Mouritsen and Hansen, 2006).
