This paper discusses the importance of installing holacracy practices in the organizations’ core values instead of hierarchy. Since the organizational structures of holacracy and hierarchy are different, the current study aims to compare the functions of both concepts in terms of the management system. Holacracy suggests a more decentralized structure, while hierarchy stands on a centralized one. In holacracy concept, power moves from leaders to processes in an organization as a whole. Further, holacracy also provides a concrete framework for encoding autonomy, agility, and purpose-alignment into the organization’s DNA. Somehow holacracy replaces the conventional management hierarchy with a new structure. In holacracy, instead of operating top-down, power is distributed throughout the organization – giving individuals and teams freedom while staying aligned to the organization’s purpose. This concept has recently been accepted & implemented in some organizations worldly. In this case, the current study aims to concentrate on the main values of holacracy and finds out that what it can really bring for the organizations.

The concept of Open Government has become very important for democratic countries since 2011. Governments are supposed to fundamentally transform information as well as data to citizens to become more openness and responsiveness. Democracy requires transparency, citizen's participation on policy making and accountability. This paper aims to focus on Open Government Partnership in Afghanistan. The recent report of OGP in 2019 shows that 79 countries and a large number of local governments are representing more than two billion people along with thousands of civil society organizations as members of the Open Government Partnership. Afghanistan joined OGP in late 2017. According to the OGP annual report in 2019, this country is at bottom of the list. This study found that Afghanistan still has a long way ahead to become a real Open Government.
