Recent research has shown that the liberated firm is associated with better performance and can address the emerging needs in our hypermodern society for autonomy, self-esteem, commitment, and well-being. While research on liberated firms has been increasing, the concept remains widely debated among academics, especially in management and organisational behaviour fields as well as in the press and on social media. The coexistence of related notions (sociocracy, holacracy, spaghetti organization, management 3.0 and teal organization) accentuates the need for a theoretical framework. This research aims to fill this gap. Specifically, we conduct a systematic literature review and comparative analysis. We therefore demonstrate that the concept of the liberated firm integrates the five other notions (as modalities or different stages of liberation); that is, it presents the highest degree of humanist values and operates at the highest corporate level.

最近的研究表明，自由的公司与更好的绩效相关，并且可以满足超现代社会对自主、自尊、承诺和福祉的新兴需求。尽管对自由企业的研究不断增加，但这一概念在学术界仍然存在广泛争论，特别是在管理和组织行为领域以及新闻界和社交媒体上。相关概念（社会统治、合弄制、意大利面组织、管理 3.0 和青色组织）的共存凸显了对理论框架的需求。本研究旨在填补这一空白。具体来说，我们进行了系统的文献回顾和比较分析。因此，我们证明，解放企业的概念整合了其他五个概念（作为解放的方式或不同阶段）；也就是说，它体现了最高程度的人文价值观，并在最高的企业层面运作。
