Organizational Architecture: Designs for Changing Organizations (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781555424435)

Managers of the future will require new and innovative approaches to designing and structuring their organizations, approaches that are now being developed and tested in some of the most well-respected companies in the U.S. Based on over 10 years consulting with such corporate leaders at AT&T, Citicorp, Corning, American Express, and PepsiCo, the authors reveal emerging techniques for dealing with the range of strategic issues facing organizations--mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, high performance work systems, and total quality management. The authors present a proven model for understanding organizations and demonstrate how it can be used to effect positive change in both formal and informal organizational systems. Finally, they look at how executive-level work has evolved from an individual to a team orientation, and they offer suggestions for selecting team members and using executive teams to collaborate on corporate strategy.
