The study proposes a theoretical model that seeks to capture the key variables that define the internal organization of a company operating in a changing economic environment, where maintaining the secrecy of its activities is a requirement.
This approach creates a need for secrecy that can limit society's ability to adapt to a changing environment.
The optimal design of this company's internal structure will result from striking a balance between confidentiality and adaptability to a changing environment.
