Product Description

Discover the specific strategies premier companies are using to position themselves for success in the new knowledge economy. In this best–selling work, a world–class team of management experts shows how leading corporations––General Electric, Morgan Bank, and SmithKline Beecham included––are busting boundaries on all fronts. Each of these companies is producing superior results by encouraging the flow of ideas, resources, and talents in and out of the organization, up and down the hierarchy, and across geographic lines. For any executive looking to build a more flexible, innovative, and competitive organization, The Boundaryless Organization remains the definitive guide.

From the Inside Flap

To succeed in business today, organizations must learn to color outside the lines. In the words of Jack Welch, the much–quoted CEO of General Electric, organizations have to become "boundaryless." In The Boundaryless Organization, this top team of management experts shows how to sweep away the artificial obstacles of hierarchy, turf, and geography that too often stand in the way of outstanding business performance. They demonstrate how top organizations such as Samsung, Morgan Bank, and SmithKline Beecham are busting boundaries on all fronts, each enjoying stellar results by encouraging the flow of ideas, resources, and talents in and out of the organization, up and down the hierarchy, and across geographic boundaries.

5.0 out of 5 stars A triumphant crusade against fiefdoms, 24 Aug 1998

By A Customer

This is a forward-looking discussion of the paradigm shift from traditional pyramidal organizations to organic, dynamic enterprises that feature permeable boundaries. The book is a triumphant crusade against fiefdoms and for freedom in inter- and intra-organizational life. It demonstrates how "boundaryless" organizations can increase the ability to respond quickly, creatively, flexibly, and in an integrated fashion to market demands. Case studies of change efforts bring the main points alive. Adding to the value of this work are self-diagnostic instruments, charts, and tables. This book is a rich source of insights about organization plus savvy guidelines for taking action. We highly recommend it.
