企業大未來

內容簡介

內容簡介 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, provides the first credible model for actually designing the company of the future. Based on 20 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. Technological and economic 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 to loose 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. This book explores the skills managers will need in a workplace in which the power to decide belongs to everyone.

各界推薦

各界推薦 MIT教授Malone開宗明義地指出，企業界正處在強烈可預見的變化巔峰中，在未來以分權組織為特色的世界裡，經理人要學習如何協調與培育，而非如何控制與命令。本書用相當篇幅描述不同組織試驗新型管理技巧與架構的結果，也強調在扁平化、分權化的未來組織中，流程配置與再造將成為競爭優勢的主要依據。
