Organization: Helping People Pull Together
In this excerpt from Marvin Bower's 1966 book, The Will to Manage, he provides insights into the principles of effective corporate organization. The article not only explores the way good organization makes companies more effective and dynamic and workers more satisfied but also offers basic guidelines for organizational planning in line operations, functional departments, and staff activities.
The take-away: Organization is a planning process that must be part of any effective system of management. Formal organizational planning can help inspire purposeful, productive decisions and actions throughout a corporation.
