About this item

Product details

Are big corporations (the elephants) out of control?
Now in paperback, this insightful and controversial work from Britain's bestselling author and world-class management guru looks at how individuals (the fleas) relate to multi-national conglomerates (the elephants).
""It is easy to see why many observers think that the big corporations are now both richer and more powerful than many nation states. They worry that these new corporate states are accountable to no-one... that their financial clout makes governments beholden to them... The elephants, people feel, are out of control.""
Drawing on his experience of life and work, Charles Handy discusses the future of everything -- from education, work and marriage to capitalism, management, religion and society.

Fleas need elephants just as elephants need fleas to keep them alert and dancing. This idea also applies to economies who need both to business which has to structure itself to allow fleas to co-exist with the elephants to society which needs to encourage individualism but needs the conformity of the elephant.
