Balkanisation Explanation: A term which is obviously more often used in political contexts but can be used to describe other forms of disintegration or division - some of the entries below use it in relation to project management. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkanization http://www.europelostandfound.net/balkanisation http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordD... It does however imply not only an element of non-cohesion but also of competition and conflict between the seperate units, so not sure if this will fit in your context? |
