Prevailing models of organisation divide people into owners,
managers and employees, forcing especially the latter to obey, to
behave, and to function well within a hierarchical and managerial
pecking order. However, there is no natural law suggesting the need
for such organisations, not in market economies and definitely not
in modern democratic societies - and there is no justification for
such types of organisation. Arguing that most current organisations
are orthodox, hierarchical, anti-democratic, oppressive, unfair,
and unjust, this book presents a viable alternative, a better type
of organisation - the democratic organisation. Diefenbach develops
and provides step by step a systematic, comprehensive, thorough,
and detailed general model of the democratic organisation. He
describes the democratic organisation's fundamental principles,
values, governance, management, structures, and processes, and the
ways it functions and operates both within the organisation and
towards others and the environment. Crucially, and most
importantly, the democratic organisation provides the institutions
and organisational context for individuals to maintain and pursue
their fundamental freedoms, inalienable rights, and dignity; to
manage organisations in democratic, participative, and cooperative
ways; and to conduct business in considerate, balanced, and
sustainable ways. This book will be of interest to researchers,
academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of management,
organisation studies, strategic management, business ethics,
entrepreneurship, and family business.
