This is particularly visible in organization management. A commune is an organization with a specific objective; commune management is a difficult and very complex task. Recent developments of information technologies and environmental changeability force organizations to implement innovation. It is worth remembering here that innovations should be regarded with respect to three areas: product, technology and management.
