In Brazilian business culture, the concept of 'organização não gerenciada' is often discussed critically, as Brazilian companies typically value hierarchical structures. However, in creative and startup sectors in São Paulo and Rio, unmanaged or self-managed organizations are increasingly viewed as innovative alternatives. In the USA, particularly in tech hubs like NYC, unmanaged or flat-hierarchy organizations are sometimes seen as agile and forward-thinking, though they can also be viewed skeptically by traditional business sectors.
