A critical mass of events has been transforming the American
work scene, bringing unprecedented and irreversible changes in how
American corporations relate to world markets and how they interact
with their workforce. These changes are bringing about New
Paradigms in corporate structure, organization, and operation. For
many corporations, these changes involve substantial alterations
such as recasting worklife. Rebirth is often validly used as a
descriptive term for corporations that successfully weathered the
massive onslaught of global economic, demographic, and
technological changes in the last decade and the imperatives
confronting many others for years to come. Officials, executives,
and students need to know how and why new policies, strategies,
organization designs, and employment relationships are indicated as
well as lessons learned and guidelines from which to launch new
policies and employment relationships. This is necessary because:
these parties must enact or guide developments; or, they are a part
of the changes and need the understanding of the factors which have
changed their work roles, their expectations for the future and in
many cases their standard of living.
This book is written to provide understanding and sufficient
examples and guidelines for planners, strategists, and senior
managers so that they can start to address the specifics of their
situations. It provides numerous exhibits encompassing New Paradigm
features; point-by-point features of newer employment relationships
(based on a new psychological contract); timely and useful
reference information sorted out according to key topics. New
Paradigm organizations are characterized by management credibility,
mutual trust, and cooperative working relationships. Employee
involvement and participative management are hallmarks of the New
Paradigm companies.
