The Support Economy (Paperback)

Paperback. Organizations are an integral part of all our lives; whether schools, hospitals, transport networks or commercial corporations. But do they really serve our interests in the twenty-first century? A dazzling blend of business vision, social psychology, history and economics, The Support Economy argues compellingly that individuals have outgrown the organizations upon which their well-being depends. Today's consumers and employees want to make informed decisions, get their views heard and control their own destinies - and find dealing with organizations frustrating, confusing and stressful. The Support Economy is the first book to critically examine the cause of this crisis in confidence: the 'enterprise logic' known as managerial capitalism that has outlived its use. Business is broken and can't be fixed because 'managerial' capitalism has grown hopelessly out of touch with the people it should be serving. This book explores this chasm between people and the corporations. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
