Meta-Management: the New Dimensions of the Management of Large Groups
Since 1994, Michel Drancourt with the support of Solving International, has carried out a survey of about a hundred large firms on new forms of management. In this article he reveals the most striking characteristics of management in the era of globalization. In particular, he emphasizes how much managers consider it to be important today:
– to motivate their staff while developing a strong corporate culture and associating middle management with the results;
– renew product offerings by a systematic policy of internal innovation and acquisitions;
– master accounting by permanently monitoring the profitability of each unit;
– transform large pyramidal firms into “a flotilla of fast motor boats”.
