Author Description

The Lean Organization avoids the trap of equating flattening with downsizing. This book takes a strategic view of the flat organization as well as addressing its practical consequences. The Lean Organization aims to dispel some of the myths about the flat organization and provide a critical appraisal of: -- why the flat organization is a desirable form, -- where and when it is appropriate -- how to achieve a flat organization -- what a flat organization can - and cannot - realistically deliver, -- how to manage the new organization -- how the flat organization links with other management theories.
