A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Despite all recent efforts to redesign companies to improve productivity, quality and organisational effectiveness, most organisations fall short of their goals. The authors of THE SELF-MANAGING ORGANIZATION argue that, more often than not, efforts at reengineering fail because the process is conducted in an authoritarian, top-down manner. But at the leading edge of the management revolution , innovative companies are implementing 'Participative Design' - a radical new approach that gives the power to change the workplace back to employees.
Showing why employee involvement is key to successful corporate restructuring, the authors reveal that democratic decision making not only improves economic performance and generates high-wage and high-skill jobs, but also puts dignity, caring and meaning back into work - values that improve every workers communal life.

Revue de presse

Les efforts consentis par les entreprises pour se restructurer échouent la plupart du temps parce qu'ils n'ont pas été suffisamment expliqués, et que les employés subissent tout à coup les changements sans jamais avoir été associés à leur mise en place. Les auteurs ont donc cherché à savoir comment, dans des entreprises pionnières comme Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola, Chevron, United Airlines ou Mariott, se déroulent aujourd'hui les processus de décision. -- Idées clés, par Business Digest
