Adocrazia: qualsiasi forma di organizzazione che superi le normali linee burocratiche per cogliere opportunità, risolvere problemi e ottenere risultati. In un'era di cambiamento accelerato hanno maggiori probabilità di successo coloro che hanno la capacità di adattarsi.

Ciò di cui c'è bisogno è un ambiente che promuova l'uso di una tecnica ad hoc per la soluzione dei problemi - una "adhocrazia" - che funzioni al di fuori di modalità burocratiche spesso soffocanti. Attingendo a venticinque anni di esperienza nella consulenza gestionale, Waterman offre istruzioni chiare su come stabilire l'adocrazia e farla funzionare: creando task force e unità aziendali indipendenti per risolvere problemi. Un lavoro vivace e penetrante, dovrebbe diventare un manuale essenziale per i manager a tutti i livelli che riconoscono la necessità di ridefinire le regole per il successo.… (más)

I haven't read a lot of business books, but I remember this making a bit impression on me back in the eighties. MBWA, the Golden Banana, stick to the knitting. It's a classic and it makes you want to go out and found a company!

Based on researches done by the authors (Peters and Waterman), this book discusses eight basics or themes that had proved, as per the authors, prevalent amongst ‘excellent’ companies more than 30 years ago; namely- A bias for action, Close to the customer, Autonomy and entrepreneurship, Productivity through people, Hands-on value-driven, Stick to the knitting, Simple form lean staff, and Simultaneous loose-tight properties.

Although these eight basics are recommended to nurture excellence in any company, I am still in doubt whether they are timeless and sufficient. After reading the book, the first question that comes to one’s mind is that whether these ‘excellent’ companies are still so? If not, which was the real case with some of the mentioned companies, was it because of weaknesses in the 8 basics, or due to ‘invisible’ rules or basics that were not addressed by the authors in the book?

The reader should avoid the trap of comparing her company to any of the companies mentioned in the book, instead, she should benchmark against the 8 basics per se. Companies change while basics do not if proven successful.

Regardless of whether the performance of these ‘excellent’ companies are maintained throughout the years or have deteriorated, I believe this book is a must read for any executive or business leader as it still delineates some of the best business behaviors to survive global challenges existing over ages.

The Classic! But funny that most of the companies written about did poorly afterward.
