Abstract

A renowned visionary on organizational theory provides the first workable model for creating—and managing within—the organization of the future. Malone shows us that our current notions about decentralization and empowerment merely scratch the surface of what will be possible as technological and economic forces render “command and control” management obsolete. In its place will be a “coordinate and cultivate” approach that will spawn entirely new types of decentralized organizations—from internal markets to democracies to loose hierarchies—that reap the scale and knowledge efficiencies of large organizations while enabling the freedom, flexibility, and human values that drive smaller firms.
