The relationship between organization and environments(O&Es) is dynamic, open and active.The development of such relationship makes the organization change the structure model which works effective in the past.If we want to know how this change evolves,we should know the processes how information technology (IT) revolution and high-ability(HA) organization partakers affect this relationship due to their importance.This paper discusses the effect of the IT revolution and HA partakers on the relationship between the organization and environments which change fast and ceaselessly.All arguments are based on the HA partakers' actions and discussed from the dynamic,open and active perspective.In a dynamic organization,IT revolution and HA partakers make the organization reduce the officialism,increase the control of environments.They resolve the organizational complexity by reducing the uncertainty within and outside such organization;avoid the rigid state by stimulating innovation."Plan" should be replaced by "Tune" which main function is information and resources providing.While pursuing their goals,HA partakers which are the users and advocators of IT revolution make an open organization face more information and give lots of resources and capability to it.This process is irreversible which makes the organization open wider and become more complicated.In order to resolve the confliction between the plural goals with a single organization,we need a new organization model,because the traditional ones can not improve their capability so highly that they can deal with huge and important information without destructing themselves.The organization became more active for IT revolution and HA partakers' working.The HA partakers keep surveilling the environments and introduce the results as information into the organization through the Learning Organization Modelâ…¡.They are also the keys that elevate the organizational capabilities to find more potential resources and use them effectively.Given by a matrix model of an active organization's behavior,we analyze how HA partakers succeed in doing it with the help of IT.An omnidirectionally information communicated,easily adjusted,touch-and-go organization is important because only it can makes HA partakers exert themselves by supplying a negotiatory,tolerant and power dispersed organization culture.This paper gives a new organization model which named "Projects' Confederacy Organization Model(PCOM)".We talk about how this model works and how it is satisfied to the change brought by IT revolution and HA partakers in the forming process of relationship between O&Es.We also discuss the characteristics of such model.It is dummy,staff participation,and like a buffer. By contrast with the "Organic-Adaptation Organization Model",we deem it is the ambitions and struggle of HA partakers making the organization model evolve. The pressure coming from the turbulent and uncertain environments and IT revolution is only the inducements.In the last part of this article,the case about Xia Men Bird Watching Society (XMBWS) is introduced and analyzed.We can find how IT revolution and HA partakers affect the relationship between XMBWS and it's environments.We show the process of establishing PCOM and the problems within it step by step.
