3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but a little out of date and laboured, 12 Mar 1999

By A Customer

Recommended to me by a change management consultant as the best book available on the subject.

The opening chapters deal with the historical leading lights of workplace efficiency and organisational design. This is interesting and informative.

Later chapters outline Weisbord's ideas on work design, organising a business, guidelines for ree-organising and generally shaking down an organisation. It can be a litle tedious to winkle out the ideas, but some of them are worthwhile.

Final chapters provide guidelines on consulting and helping people through a major change. Applied common sense proven in action makes this section the most worthwhile part of the book.

A book worth reading, but not essential. My expectations were perhaps a little too high.
