It meant: 'Ifsomething should, against all odds, func tion properly, then do not touch it, you might make things worse!' But then, the re-engineering fashion emerged, and somebody whom I used to deeply admire as one of the most brilliant teachers I ever saw at work, when he was still an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology (MIT), coined the phrase:'Ifit is not broken: break it!'

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book takes a hard look at the behavior of the modern enterprise as it evolves in this increasingly complex universe. It offers a thoroughly candid analysis of the way things really worktaking the perspective of people being both the perpetrators and the victims in the corporate game. The objective of this critical analysis is to stimulate thought about the modern enterprise and its interaction with humanity and culture. In essence, to understand things and find ways to improve them. We used to have this saying: 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it.' It was a powerful piece of wisdom. But then, the re-engineering fashion emerged and that changed everything. This book describes the behavior of the 'creature' enterprise as it evolves in an in-creasingly complex universe. What is this elusive creature really like Are we able to understand its survival and reproduction mechanisms and its interaction with humanity and culture The book offers a rather merciless analysis of the way things really work. It does so from a human perspective, as we, the people, are at the same time the perpetrators and the victims in the corporate game. The objective is not to indoctrinate or even convince, but to stimulate thought: Let's try to understand these things, and then find ways to improve them, without breaking more than we already have. 300 pp. Englisch.
