Description: | Select Guide Rating The expanded and fully updated edition of the business classic that started a global trend - the definitive account from the man who wrote the book on 'Open-Book Management'. In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a near bankrupt division of International Harvester. Today it''s one of the most successful and competitive companies in the United States, with a share price 3000 times what it was thirty years ago. This miracle turnaround is all down to one man, Jack Stack, and his revolutionary system of Open-Book Management, in which every employee understands the company''s key figures, can act on them and has a real stake in the business. In Stack''s own words: ''When employees think, act and feel like owners ... everybody wins.''As a management strategy, ''the great game of business'' is so simple and effective that it''s been taken up by companies from Intel to Harley Davidson. |
