Beating The System - Using Creativity To Outsmart Bureaucracies (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Berrett-Koehler, San Francisco, 2005
ISBN 10: 1576753301 ISBN 13: 9781576753309
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When was the last time you dealt with a bureaucracy-the phone company, an airline, a hospital, school, or government agency-and got what you wanted without weaving through a maze of infuriating hand-offs? Have you found these systems to be utterly indifferent to the inconvenience or hardship they cause?Russell Ackoff and Sheldon Rovin say, "Enough is enough!" They have extensively studied organizational systems-how they function and malfunction, what drives them, and where their weaknesses are. Here they share both perversely entertaining anecdotes about the abuse of individuals by various bureaucracies and detail the creative-and deeply satisfying-approaches these people used to get even. Best of all, they offer successful strategies and tactics you can use to pinpoint the weakness of any system and exploit it to your advantage. This book is for anyone who has faced the bureaucratic blank wall. The authors explain how systems are designed, how they function (and, particularly, malfunction), where their weaknesses are, and the incentives that drive them - as well as how to be creative in beating a system. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Beating The System - Using Creativity To Outsmart Bureaucracies (UK PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS Management / Business)
Language: English
Published by McGraw Hill / Europe, Middle Eas, 2005
ISBN 10: 1576753301 ISBN 13: 9781576753309
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
