Richard,

I know what the term interactive means, but I don't understand the point
you are trying to make in distinguishing it as a type of organization
distinct from the others. Organizations that treat people as expendable
or high performing organizations can be interactive. In fact, I don't
know how there could be an organization that is NOT interactive. Could
you please explain?

Thanks,
