The Great Game of Business: The Only Sensible Way to Run a Company

Description

In the early 1980s, Springfield Remanufacturing Corporation (SRC) in Springfield, Missouri, was a near bankrupt division of International Harvester. Today it”s one of the most successful and competitive companies in the United States, with a share price 3000 times what it was thirty years ago. This miracle turnaround is all down to one man, Jack Stack, and his revolutionary system of Open-Book Management, in which every employee understands the company”s key figures, can act on them and has a real stake in the business. In Stack”s own words: ”When employees think, act and feel like owners … everybody wins.”As a management strategy, ”the great game of business” is so simple and effective that it”s been taken up by companies from Intel to Harley Davidson.
