Transforming Organizations

Zusatztext `A readable and very relevant account of how organizations can! and should! transform their structures and practices to compete in the world economy.'Long Range Planning Klappentext This book examines how organizations can! and should! transform their practices to compete in a world economy. Research results from a multi-disciplinary team of MIT researchers! along with the experiences and insights of a select group of industry practitioners! are integrated into a model that stresses the need for systemic and transformative rather than piecemeal or incremental changes in organization practices and public policy. This integration of research and experience results in an argument for a new organizational learning model--one capable of gaining advantage from employee diversity! cooperation across organizational boundaries! strategic restructuring! and advanced technology. The book begins with a foreword by Lester C. Thurow. Zusammenfassung This is a contributed book on how organizations can and should adapt to global markets in a world economy. Its central argument is that merely changing parts of an organization will not be successful and that systemic changes across whole organizations will be required.
