Do you think it’s possible for an organization to deliberately create an “anti-hierarchy” to encourage employees to engage in acts of creative deviance? What steps might a company take to encourage creative deviance? I think is it very hard to deliberately create an “anti-hierarchy” environment in an organization, but it is not impossible.

current health care debate issues concerning anti trust laws are also an issue for concern. A major facet of President Obama’s health care reform is for those within the health care community from providers to drug companies to commit on some level to keeping down cost.
