Shamrock Organization
A model introduced by Handy in The Age of Unreason (1989), describing a new organizational structure composed of three leaves:
- Core Workforce: Permanent employees essential to the organization.
- Contractors: Specialists or outsourced providers of non-core functions.
- Flexible Workers: Part-time, temporary, or freelance contributors who offer adaptability.
This model reflects the rise of outsourcing and the gig economy.
