Abstract: Today, we have many organizational models enjoying considerable success within its domain of applicability, but none seems to be appropriate for managing FMS and CIM environment, because they are not structured with flexible mode. In fact, they are lagging behind the strategic requirements of new technology. The model for managing FMS and CIM has to accommodate simultaneously the increasing number of success variables/goals which are often seemingly contradictory and noncom mensurable. Specifying structural properties that facilitate the simultaneous accomplishment of multiple success variables/goals would provide the basis for managing and organizing FMS and CIM environment. This article discusses a few success variables that the new model has to accommodate and the structural properties for their accomplishment. A prototype organizational model is also presented.
