Neocorp

“What the Megacorps needed was an organizational system that was capable of maintaining command and control over vast operations using not much more than a telephone, and able to recover even if half of its managers were obliterated in a wartime strike by a rival corp.
They found it in Organized Crime.” – Cyberpunk V3

“Organised Crime? Give me a break, dude.

<…>

Yeah, I grep that all the time. No one knows who our board of directors is, everytime they talk to our “chief” its someone different. So they must be hiding behind these puppets.  Screw that man,  what we are is a colaborative ad-hocracy. You scan?

Colaborative – we all pitch in to do what we can, what get out baselined on what we put in. That simple.

Ad-hocracy – we come together when we need to. If we need people in charge for something we pick the best until it’s done. That’s why theres no board and it’s never the same guy.

We aren’t staters or hierachs, we just do what need doin’. I dunno what to object to most. ‘Criminal’ or ‘Organised’ ”

“Organised Crime? Yeah, so what?

Hey chum, those people paid us protection – we didn’t just run out on ‘em when they needed us. That was our neighbourhood, they respected us, we respected them. So yeah, we looked after them, then when it had died down we looked at what they wanted and we arranged to have it shipped in.

<…>

Of course they pay for it, what kinda dumbass are you. We arrange to get it here but, it costs us money and yeah we make a bit of a profit. But, hell look around you. These people don’t begrudge us a bit of dough, we don’t extort them and we deal square with them. This is our neighbourhood. It’s about respect, man.”

“Organised what? You yanking my chain? Why?

<…>

Yeah, I do most of my business by wires? Cos, you know, I do most of my life on the wires.

<…>

Well, yeah, no office equals no overhead. I got my phone, that’s all I need.”
