{"product_id":"shadow-organizations-stefan-kzhl-9781734961966","title":"Shadow Organizations: Agile Management and Unwanted Bureaucratization","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Stefan Kühl shows that there is a trend towards hyperformalization, especially in agile organizations. This happens because, in order to achieve the dismantling of hierarchy and the softening of departmental boundaries, agile organizations are producing formal role descriptions to an unprecedented degree. This over-bureaucratization results in a whole series of unintended side effects that can clog up organizations. As Stefan Kühl shows with numerous examples from corporate practice, organizations form shadow hierarchies and shadow departments in order to retain their ability to act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Kühl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1734961961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781734961966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Organizational Dialogue Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.33d","brand":"Stefan Kühl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897531261183,"sku":"9781734961966","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59c48d58-8b23-4529-9551-7006a3b55aee.jpg?v=1721374147","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shadow-organizations-stefan-kzhl-9781734961966","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
