A Pathbreaking Model for Building a New-and Far Better-World of Work For more than a decade, business thinkers have theorized about how technology will change the shape of organizations In this landmark book, renowned organizational theorist Thomas Malone, codirector of MIT's "Inventing the Organizations of the 21st Century" initiative, оечят provides the first credible model for actually designing the company of the future Based on twenty years of groundbreaking research, The Future of Work foresees a workplace revolution that will dramatically change organizational structures and the roles employees play in them Malone argues that current notions about decentralization merely scratch the surface of what will be possible as technological andeconomic forces make "command and control" management increasingly less useful In its place will be a more flexible "coordinate and cultivate" approach that will spawn new types of decentralized organizations-from internal markets to democracies toloose hierarchies These future structures will reap the scale and knowledge efficiencies of large organizations while enabling the freedom, flexibility, and human values that drive smaller firms Exploring the skills managers will need in a workplace in which the power to decide belongs to everyone, this optimistic book shows how we can help create a world that is not just richer, but better.  Составители:Суперобложка ISBN 1591391253.
