Adhocracy - What is it – it is how Google operates. They take people from one location to another to better complete a project. Google Inc. has a community of where everyone progresses. They use the idea of core competency. For example say a person lives in texas and Google needs to solve an issue in Florida if the person can move to Florida to help out they will relocate them, and to maintain your job you must be constantly helping and be flexible.
The basic line of leadership is at the top:
CEO / General
V.P. / Partner
Junior Partner – Masters Degree – Usual Required
Sr. Manager – Masters Degree – Usual Required
Sr. Consultant – Masters Degree – Usually Required
Consultant - Basic
Analyst - Basic
Internship - Basic
“You can take people out of the slums, but you can’t take the slums out of the people.” However if you take the slum out of the people the slum will go away on its own.
Five Engines of Organizations
1. People
2. Organization
3. Market
4. Technology – Service
5. Capital
Within the five engines exist in 3 other categories;
1. Strategy
2. Opportunities
3. Change
Each category has a specific type of personality – because of this it is an adhocracy – this is why people are so diverse. This is why good strong companies like Google are powerful they use there resources from many people.

I like your definition about an Adhocracy, it helped me understand a little better how it relates to the subject matter. However, I'm a little confused about your little quote: "'...You can't take the slums out of the people.' However if you take the slum out of the people..." I thought you just said you can't take the slums out of the people... would you mind elaborating?
Yeah sure, I guess I just miss-wrote the quote but the concept is people are in the “slums” it is a habit. If people don’t change there habits then when you “move” people they will continue there life style. Thus if you can change the person’s habit to improve then the slums they live in will begin to improve dramatically. It really doesn’t matter if you live in a million dollar home, a student apartment or in a very low income poor part of town. If you have high standards all will improve, but if you don’t your million-dollar home will be trashed. I hope this helps you understand better the concept.
