Abstract
This chapter focuses on two types of organizations in the United States: political parties and financial institutions and, in particular, on the way their internal organizational structure has changed, and is changing, under the influence of new technologies. Over the last 20 years, there has been a fundamental revision of the channels of communication within both political parties and financial institutions because of structural issues as well as more recent developments. This has resulted in a revised pattern of governance and a profound modification of the relations with their stakeholders.
