Based on six years of research and hundreds of interviews with managers at every level of companies such as Intel, ABB, Canon, 3M, and McKinsey, The Individualized Corporation explores the collapse of an outmoded corporate form and reveals the emergence of a fundamentally different management philosophy--one that forces on the power of the individual as the driver of value creation in the company and the importance of individuality in management.
The image of the "Organization Man" as a cog in a corporate machine has become both dated and dangerous. Rather than try to force employees into a homogeneous corporate mold based on a company's strategy, structure, and system, world-renowned scholars and consultants Sumantra Ghoshal and Christopher Bartlett argue that managers must embrace a philosophy based on purpose, process, and people that focuses on developing and leveraging the individual's unique talents and skills--a company's most important source of competitive advantage.
Without proposing a universal solution or a quick-fix prescription, this important book provides an indispensable guide for those who must lead their companies into the next century.

Condition: Good. : En 'The Individualized Corporation', Sumantra Ghoshal y Christopher Bartlett exploran el colapso de una forma corporativa obsoleta y revelan el surgimiento de una filosofía de gestión fundamentalmente diferente. Esta filosofía se centra en el poder del individuo como motor de la creación de valor en la empresa y en la importancia de la individualidad en la gestión. En lugar de intentar forzar a los empleados a encajar en un molde corporativo homogéneo basado en la estrategia, la estructura y el sistema de una empresa, los autores argumentan que los gerentes deben adoptar una filosofía basada en el propósito, el proceso y las personas que se centre en desarrollar y aprovechar los talentos y habilidades únicos del individuo, la fuente más importante de ventaja competitiva de una empresa. Este libro proporciona una guía indispensable para aquellos que deben liderar sus empresas hacia el próximo siglo.
