Some of the best companies in the world are flourishing by dramatically revising their management practices, according to Dartmouth College teacher William F. Joyce. In MegaChange, Joyce looks at how Lucent Technologies, CitiGroup, Price Waterhouse, and other top businesses are instituting nontraditional management techniques.
Joyce believes that global competition, rapid advances in technology, and new workplace values are necessitating profound changes in the way organizations manage their workforces. He argues that successful managers recognize that people today are demanding job satisfaction, which is a vastly different situation from 20 years ago, when surveys found that 95 percent of workers didn't expect to be satisfied with their work. "We must be competitive, but we must do it in a way that recognizes the desire--perhaps the demand--for meaningful and valuable work, the recognition of family and personal satisfaction." Joyce calls for igniting change in four ways: empowering the workforce, improving policies, creating organizations that engage people, and sharpening strategy. MegaChange is for managers searching for innovative ways to save their organizations from stifling bureaucracies and engage their employees in a culture that is both productive and significant. --Dan Ring
Review
Jay R. Galbraith Visiting Professor of Organization Design & Development, International Institute for Management Development, Lausanne, Switzerland In MegaChange, Bill Joyce has created a unique combination of theory and practice. He has included enough content for the book to be educational. But he's also provided enough examples and tools for the content to be actionable.
