Managing Value-Based Organizations argues that those who fail to
understand management history are destined to repeat it. Research
has shown that despite the prodigious output of management books,
managers still have little idea why there is so much change in the
world of work or what they can do about it. Most, it seems, are
still waiting for the dust to settle, expecting instead that in the
near future they will be able to go back to doing things the way
they have always done them. This highly innovative and accessible
book takes a historical look at how the organization and management
of work has changed since before the Industrial Revolution and uses
this as a basis to explain: * how and why organizations and
management behavior have evolved over the past 500 years * the
importance of understanding how organizations are changing today
and what they will become in the future * what new organizations
will look like and how managers will have to change to be effective
in them, and * how managers can change their organization from one
which is locked in tradition to one which is flexible enough to
respond positively to constant change. Revealing both the
practicalities and theories behind surviving upheaval in the
workplace, academics, business managers and HR managers alike will
find this book to be a fascinating and invaluable read.
