Book description
Survival and success in business and social terms has always depended upon our ability to form and sustain social organisations. People have a deep need to be creative and to belong. By creating positive organisations we can fulfil these needs and build a worthwhile society. The new edition of this influential, bestselling book is concerned with how people come together to achieve a productive purpose. It has been substantially updated and includes new material on topics such as structure, safety and levels of work, new complementary theories around networks, holocracy and disruptive organizations as well as a new chapter on the social, technical and commercial aspects of the theory.
