In The Centerless Corporation: Transforming Your Organization for Growth and Prosperity in the New Millennium, they argue that decreasing bureaucracy and increasing communication in an environment where education and idea-sharing are actively promoted will prove a successful alternative to the top-down style of central management still favored by many businesses today. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Pasternack and Viscio, founding partners of Booz-Allen & Hamilton's Strategic Leadership Practice, have produced a well-researched, convincing guide to a new corporate structure model, based on three principles: personnel, knowledge management, and coherence. Replete with numerous case studies and real-life examples from their extensive work with corporations such as GE, Motorola, and Norwest, the book details how corporations are redefining the roles of the CEO, central staff, and corporate headquarters. This new centerless corporation model supports five key functions?strategic leadership, corporate identity, capabilities distribution and access, low-cost capital access, and enterprisewide control. The book's strength is the authors' transformation of this new model into a set of steps that any corporation can follow. Selected references are included.
