Co-operating Across Boundaries
The Balancing of Integration and Autonomy: Update on BP, Nokia, Ogilvy One, and RBS

Intranets and Horizontal Communication/Integration
Lynda Gratton also notes that in her research the element of 'boundary spanning' is centrally about communications and integration (see Gratton, Hot Spots: Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organizations Buzz with Energy - And Others Don't, Berrett-Koehler, 2007, Chapter 1).
Developments on Signature Processes
For further work on the nature and impact of signature processes particularly from the perspective of selection and induction processes see Tamara J. Erickson and Lynda Gratton, 'What It Means to Work Here', Harvard Business Review, March, 2007).
