ABSTRACT
The general model, obviously, describes all features of the democratic organisation comprehensively and in detail, i.e. it suggests a fully-fledged, fairly structured and relatively developed democratic organisation of some size and longer existence. All members of the democratic organisation are legally and formally enabled and empowered to govern and to manage themselves, the organisation and organisational affairs via institutions of democratic governance and democratic management. Members of the democratic organisation govern the organisation and organisational affairs on the basis of authoritative sources either directly or via organisational institutions of governance. Organisational affairs that go beyond individuals’ or groups of people’s wills and capacities to self-manage are managed by formally established organisational institutions or individual management positions. From a legal, formal, and functional perspective, all members of the democratic organisation are equal and have equal rights – and equal rights mean equal power.
