Management Models For The Future (Paperback - 2009)

It is evident that many organizations are in need of renovation, innovation and reinvigoration. Longstanding business paradigms and underpinning practices require critical reflection in light of fundamental societal and business developments. Some companies are addressing these challenges, many companies are not. New functional requirements often seem to be in conflict, such as transparency, stock market performance, sustainability, innovation, responsibility, time to market, stakeholders, business rationalization and many others. These requirements force business to revise its management model. The time is right to demonstrate how the business enterprise can be re-conceptualized and what the challenges are of fundamental strategic choices in organizing a sustainable business proposition. This book presents ten cases of organizations that have developed a management model that leads the organization into the future.
