BAH is an acronym standing for Bureaucratic, Administratively controlled, and Hierarchical organizations, courtesy of Mark Federman. He adds, "The theory of a BAH organization is that only legitimate leaders – those typically higher in the hierarchy – possess sufficient information, vision, and scope of knowledge to provide appropriate impetus that is consistent with achieving the organization's overall purpose." Ubiquitous connectivity and pervasive proximity (UCaPP) organizations, by contrast, do not need the embodied leader. "The extensive socializing of information means that each member can act relatively autonomously, assessing circumstances with a high degree of accuracy, enabling the organization to move quickly in actually accomplishing the task-at-hand."
