Transforming your job and your company
for the new information society Hardback book with Dust Jacket by John Naisbitt (Author of the Six Million Copy Bestseller Megatrends ) and Patricia Aburdene First Printing: September 1985 Copyright 1985 by Megatrends Ltd. " We are living in one of those rare times in history when divergent forces come together and make radical change possible.
Today the two essential elements for corporate transformation are present in our society:
new values and economic necessity.
For the managers and entrepreneurs of the baby boom, it means the time is ripe to translate personal values into institutional change and corporate policy.
And for all of us, for both our economic survival and betterment, it means the time has come to re-invent the corporation and its relationship to the rest of society. " " In Re-inventing the Corporation John Naisbitt and Patricia Aburdene, his collaborator on Megatrends, describe an important new trend most observers have missed:
increasingly severe labor shortages that will create a tight labor market for the rest of this century.
To compete for the best people, companies will offer employees opportunities for personal growth, literal and psychic company ownership, as well as flexible schedules and benefit plans.
The corporate relationship to woman, health issues, and education will change.
In short, companies will- for economic reasons- become better places to work. " " Re-inventing the Corporation shows you how to evaluate your present company in terms of the future.
You will learn whether to stay or look for work elsewhere, what basic skills to acquire, and why your next academic degree may come from your place of business. " " For baby boomers seeking to merge personal and career values, Re-inventing the Corporation is the bible of change in the workplace.
For established companies it is a survival guide for the rocky transition into the new information society.
For entrepreneurs it is a blueprint for building the corporation of the future. " " This book gives you the questions, the answers, the guidelines, and the examples which will enable you to transform your job and your company for the new information society.
In the words of the authors, " The aim of this book is not just to inform, but to inspire ... if you have longed to create a workplace where both people and profits can flourish, you were born at the right time. And you are living amongst a generation of contemporaries who share your vision. It is that vision on which the success of America's corporations depends. " " Contents include: " Introduction
