The Open-book Experience: Lessons From Over 100 Companies Who Successfully Transformed Themselves
Autor John Caseen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 dec 1998
Over
the
last
decade
companies
have
struggled
to
balance
the
human
dimension
of
business
with
the
need
to
be
aggressive,
competitive,
and
profitable.
Of
all
the
management
solutions
considered,
one
philosophy,
open-book
management,
has
proven
its
power
to
transform
organizations
and
enhance
morale
and
productivity
again
and
again.But
what
was
it
about
a
seemingly
risky
philosophy,
in
which
all
of
a
company's
financial
numbers
are
revealed
to
every
employee,
that
compelled
companies
as
dissimilar
as
multibillion-dollar
RR
Donnelley
and
modest-sized
Crisp
publications,
to
undertake
such
a
drastic
rethinking
of
company
management?
Was
it
the
increased
profits
other
companies,
such
as
Amoco
Canada,
were
experiencing
due
to
their
employees'
new
financial
involvement
in
the
company?
Or
was
it
he
improved
production
that
Bagel
Works,
Inc.,
and
Dixie
Ironworks,
Inc.,
realized
through
employee
joint
accountability?
Perhaps
it
was
the
enhanced
employee
morale
that
still
other
companies
were
achieving
now
that
their
employees
were
partners
who
designed
their
own
bonus
packages.
Likely,
it
was
all
these
reasons
and
dozens
more
that
convinced
hundreds
of
companies
to
adopt
open-book
management
to
help
reduce
costs,
improve
quality,
and
boost
sales,
all
while
creating
an
environment
that
reinvented
and
revitalized
the
role
of
the
employee.In
this
practical
and
highly
accessible
book,
John
Case,
the
leading
authority
and
foremost
chronicler
of
open-book
management,
shows
how
to
put
the
open-book
philosophy
to
work.The
Open-Book
Experienceexplains
how
to
identify
critical
numbers,
how
to
bring
the
corporate
financials
down
to
earth,
and
how
to
set
up
a
system
that
gets
everyone
in
the
business
working
to
improve
performance.
It
describes
how
companies
both
large
and
small
have
actually
implemented
open-book
management—how
they
got
started,
how
they
overcame
obstacles,
and
how
they
taught
employees
to
understand
the
business.
Using
a
step-by-step
methodology
gleaned
from
the
experiences
of
more
than
100
successful
companies,
and
revealing
tools
and
techniques
such
as
electronic
scoreboards
and
collaborative
“games,”
Case
shows
how
open-book
management
can
work
for
any
company
wanting
to
bridge
the
age-old
gap
between
concern
for
people
and
the
need
for
rigorous
performance
measurement
and
improvement.
