Adhocracy: The Power to Change, (Paperback)

In an era of accelerating change, the people, the organizations, the national economies most likely to succeed are those with the ability to adjust and adapt. Robert H. Waterman, Jr., coauthor of the best-selling "In Search of Excellence," shows how and why this sort of innovation must become a way of life for business organizations across the board. What is needed is an environment that fosters the use of an ad-hoc problem-solving technique, in effect an "adhocracy" that functions outside the often initiative-stifling bureaucracy.
