NYT про исследование Стенфорда о возникающих pop-up организациях: распределенных хабах, которые краткосрочно возникают для работы с фрилансерами по всему миру, чтобы создавать продукты и услуги, а потом так же быстро распадаются, когда продукт зашипан.

"Upon closer inspection, the producer of True Story wasn’t really a firm: The workers were all freelancers who typically had never met and, perhaps more striking, the entire organization existed solely to create the game and then disbanded.

True Story was a case study in what two Stanford professors call “flash organizations” — ephemeral setups to execute a single, complex project in ways traditionally associated with corporations, nonprofit groups or governments."
