Items related to Rebirth of the Corporation
Modern technology and changing economics are forcing corporations away from traditional hierarchial management models. A new model is arising: the cluster organization, which imaginatively combines individual initiative with teamwork and is a workable alternative to the Japanese emphasis on the group (Theory Z). The cluster organization reflects basic changes in decision rules and in the number and role of managers. A ``cluster'' comprises people drawn from different disciplines who work together to complete a mission, and who handle administrative functions themselves--its purpose is to create and exploit competitive advantage. Shows how to develop a cluster in an organization, and contains real-life examples of cluster organization in different industries.

From Library Journal:
As corporations enter the more competitive and global marketplace of the 21st century, top managers rightly wonder what changes need to be made. Mills, author of The New Competitors ( LJ 7/85), contends that the answer lies in a new form of corporate structure that he calls the "Cluster Organization." This is a multidimensional concept that, in part, harkens back to elements of matrix organization. But it also capitalizes on the latest in communication technology and shifts primary accountability and initiative away from top management to individuals. Drawing on his wide-ranging experiences at British Petroleum, DuPont, and G.E. Canada, Mills provides a provocative road map for these executives looking to eliminate bureaucracy and shorten their lines of communication. Recommended for all managers interested in organizational theory and structure.
