Summary |
In The Future of Work, renowned organizational theorist Thomas W. Malone, codirector of MIT’s landmark initiative “Inventing the organizations of the 21st Century,” shows where these things are already happening today and how-if we choose-they can happen even more in the future. Malone argues that a convergence of technological and economic factors-particularly the rapidly falling cost of communication-is enabling a change in business organizations as profound as the shift to democracy in governments. For the first time in history, says Malone, it will be possible to have the best of both worlds-the economic and scale efficiencies of large organizations, and the human benefits of small ones: freedom, motivation, and flexibility.
