Hierarchies v. heterarchies

I would like some help...


I have been trying to think about why it is we (people) seem to operate with a hierarchical/vertical orientation in our working relationships but heterarchically/horizontally outside work - in the context of why collaborative processes and cross disciplinary teams are the exception, not the norm, at work.


Can anyone point me towards papers/discussions/thinkers on this?


Thank you.
