JEL Classification: D23; P26.Este artigo explora o conceito de heterarquia como uma forma organizacional que é uma alternativa para hierarquias e mercados. As heterarquias são caracterizadas pela responsabilização lateral e por múltiplos princípios organizadores, ou em termos diferentes, pela inteligência distribuída e pela organização da diversidade. Os materiais empíricos são retirados da economia húngara contemporânea, onde as empresas operam em um ambiente de incerteza institucional. Uma análise da estrutura acionária das 200 maiores empresas e dos 25 principais bancos identifica propriedades distintas da rede criadas por vínculos de propriedade interorganizacional. A heterarquia contribui para a flexibilidade; mas o entrelaçamento de múltiplas lógicas de justificação coloca novos problemas de responsabilização.  Classificação JEL: D23; P26.Center of Political Economy2001-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://centrodeeconomiapolitica.org.br/repojs/index.php/journal/article/view/96310.1590/0101-31572001-1248Brazilian Journal of Political Economy; Vol. 21 No. 1 (2001): Jan-Mar / 2001; 22-41Brazilian Journal of Political Economy; v. 21 n. 1 (2001): Jan-Mar / 2001; 22-411809-45380101-3157reponame:Revista de Economia Políticainstname:EDITORA 34instacron:EDITORA_34enghttps://centrodeeconomiapolitica.org.br/repojs/index.php/journal/article/view/963/2218Copyright (c) 2001 Brazilian Journal of Political Economyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessStark, David2021-05-18T13:12:02Zoai:ojs2.centrodeeconomiapolitica.org:article/963Revistahttps://centrodeeconomiapolitica.org.br/repojs/index.php/journalONGhttps://centrodeeconomiapolitica.org.br/repojs/index.php/journal/oai||cecilia.heise@bjpe.org.br1809-45380101-3157opendoar:2021-05-18T13:12:02Revista de Economia Política - EDITORA 34false
