I have got your network initiative. The programme should include an investigation about the impact of the "borderless corporation" in the double sense of Globalization and the Network-Corporation.

(2) Modern information and communication technologies are supporting the erosion of the borders of the traditional corporation: Empowerment and business segmentation inside the firm, company networks like franchising, shop in shop, supplier relationships between the firms. How could worker representatives deal with this?
