About this title

Synopsis

By emphasizing organizational structure and the distribution of power in our corporations, this book provides an important antidote to the ""feel-good"" school of management.

Reviews

According to the authors, unless U.S. business begins to address dangerous tendencies, it may lose its edge in the global marketplace. They see a steady shift away from entrepreneurial and locally owned industries to absentee-owned mega-corporations whose MBA managers are psychologically, socially, and geographically distanced from employees. They cover the negative consequences for both corporations and employees and offer remedies. A solid, well-documented book that should stimulate captains of industry, professors of business, and informed laypersons. A.J. Anderson, G.S.L.I.S., Simmons Coll., Boston
