An analysis of the author's philosophy of organizations and the individual in a dramatically changing social, business and political environment. It shows how materialist capitalism is self-limiting, how efficiency may be the enemy of a cohesive society, and examines the false certainties of science and religion. The book also builds a different theory of meaning, based on the search for identity, the role of the arts and the idea of immortality. Unconventional organization is the author's model - for both business and the individual, requiring new learning systems for a better future. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I like the approach of using political ideas such a federal separation of powers for large business. Always gets me hooked back into a classical criticism of liberalism that they leave democracy at the door when they enter the workplace. Think what a republican/citizen company would be like!
Also the market works because it sees many costs as public not private and so related to the venture. For example the closure of many garages as competition from Supermarkets have driven them from the market. I benefit as prices are lower, the service better. The companies benefit with higher profits( and me again if I have a pension). But as a citizen I have to now deal with the decaying garage sites that are becoming vandal ridden sites that leave the area looking tired. ( )
