Revision with unchanged content. As the key to the achievements of
effective managers is not their personality but their way of
action, the structural necessity to formalize the fundamental
characteristics of the mode of doing effective business becomes
obvious. This defiance can be tackled with an approach that emerged
within the last two decades, representing a holistic philosophy
with the potential of integrating many particulate concepts and
instruments: Lean Management. The Lean Concept itself, however, was
unable to answer the question of optimal personnel structure and
the problem of loss of human capital within reorganization efforts.
Demonstrating that the concept of Lean indeed is a flexible model,
it is therefore possible to apply incentive theory to analyze this
problem incorporating Lean Principles as well. The iteration model
set up in this book therefore included, inter alia, the principle
of holism since it covers the entire corporation within the
endeavour of business process reorganization.

Inhaltsangabe: Abstract: Utopia, the ideally perfect state in
social and moral aspects, the imaginary island represented by
Thomas More in 1516 enjoying the greatest degree of perfection in
politics and laws, the perfect society, have we already reached it?
Several artists and authors who dealt with the subject of
geographical design and functional planning of new municipal
constructions have elaborated drafts and ideas about future types
of society and urbanity as a Utopia of a technological and highly
regulated society. This genre of literature culminated in
masterpieces such as Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927), Aldous
Huxley's Brave New World (1931) and George Orwell's Nineteen
Eigthy-Four (1949). In their visions the modern city provides a
lifestyle full of comfort and convenience: push button factories,
flyways that put an end to traffic jams, electronically operated
high-speed trains and many other inventions that are a vital part
of a goal-oriented urban management to ensure maximal efficiency.
However, Fritz Lang as well as Huxley and Orwell show that all the
convenience and comfort is a thigh costs. The urban habitat is
depressing and in its design not aimed at recreation and personal
development but at control of each individual. This culminates in
the erosion of any kind of individualism. The life on the assembly
line de-individualizes the inhabitants, equalizes and transforms
them into machines that mechanically perform their work. Moreover,
the people are no longer distinguishable, they wear the same
clothes, and finally they are as the machines as which they work
for... In this light, as a consequence of industrialization and the
quest for maximal efficiency, the trepidation emerges whether we
are running into a state of deprivation, oppression, and
