When the Monkeys Run the Zoo: The Pitfalls of Flat Hierarchies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999147900)

Every change takes its toll. Stefan K hl critically examines the blind enthusiasm that continues to celebrate the leveling of hierarchies and the decentralization of organizations. Relying on studies performed in European and U.S. companies, K hl describes why these management concepts can carry organizations to the edge of extinction. Organizations are facing the challenge of coming to grips with the threat of losing their identity, ever-escalating complexity, and the power struggles that result from both.
