Abstract
The present society is not only well organized, organizations rely on people with highly specialized competencies that utilize highly specialized systems and machinery in order to achieve high levels of productivity. Research done by Tainter indicates that with increasing levels of specialization, the cost of administration in a society increases. According to Tainter, the increasing resource consumption caused by high levels of specialization has caused the collapse of advanced societies through history. This is one aspect of the challenge facing humanity as people will attempt to transform production and distribution flows on a large scale. The management of the transformation will be more resource consuming than experts and decision makers have yet realized.
