The Agile Virtual Enterprise

"New ways to manage change and to compete in a rapidly changing business environment are emerging under the concept of the agile enterprise. Most agile are the virtual enterprises, organizations that can reconfigure themselves quickly and temporarily in response to a challenge, then dissolve or transmute into something else. How do they do this and how can you help your organization do it too?

And what are the special benefits that lie just below the surface but are certainly as important as the obvious ones? With case studies and a unique metric - a way to assess your organization's ability to become agile, then measure its progress toward that goal - Goranson's book is essential reading for management at almost all levels within every type of organization."--BOOK JACKET.
