Management in the Knowledge Economy
A very useful chart shows that in the “execution as efficiency” model leaders provide the answers and employees follow directions. New work processes are developed infrequently and implementing change is a huge undertaking. Problem solving is rarely required and judgement is not expected.
In the “execution as learning” model leaders set direction and articulate the mission and employees discover answers. Work processes keep developing and small changes, experiments and improvements, are a way of life. Problem solving is constantly needed, so valuable information is provided to guide employees’ judgement.

Clash of the Mindsets: How Indian And Western Engineers View the World Differently
They pointed out that the biggest hurdle is socio-cultural, as Indian engineers think and act completely differently than their Western colleagues. The former, growing up in a red-hot economy, are animated by a “growth mindset” whereas the latter, operating in mature economies, are stuck in a “settled mindset.” These two opposite approaches clash when they are asked to collaborate on a R&D project.

Why corporate org charts are bad
An employee has a great idea, but needs clearance from his manager and a manager in another department to get the idea over departmental boundaries. That person can directly engage that manager and solve the problem. This contradicts the present model of hierarchies and organization charts in that traditionally the employee would be forced to navigate the branches in an org chart. This obviously depletes time and resources so we’ll consider this waste.
Perhaps the second best use of bottom up communication is that it allows companies to innovate using informal networks. BUP spurs informal networks inside and outside of companies. These informals can consist of employees, suppliers, customers, or other constituents. Typically an employee solves problems within the department or team and requests a manager’s assistance when needed. An informal network may involve a supplier a customer and a VP. A recent IBM podcast references innovation as accidental. It never happens on purpose and it usually doesn’t happen in a formal setting. Furthermore, for the informal setting to work, the right tools and stimuli must be present. This is where we really see how web 2.0 streamlines innovation.

Zone Franche - blog de Gilles Martin: Action corrective
Mais imaginons que nous sommes dans un monde changeant, où l'incertitude sur le futur est plus importante que les certitudes (un monde imaginaire, en sorte), et que, peut être, les objectifs sont devenus complètement rigides et inadéquats, qu'il soit extrêmement urgent d'imaginer et de se préparer à d'autres futurs, avec des indicateurs complètement différents (oui, je sais c'est de la science fiction), qui va s'en apercevoir ? Qui va se dire que l'entreprise efficace ne fonctionne plus par la hiérarchie, mais en réseaux et en projets ?

A Solutions for Business? | socialutions
Every business has its challenges. As the speed of change fueled by the demand of “instant answers and immediate responses” accelerates the need for solutions. The answer to successfully managing challenges remains the same. However, distracted by the urgency of the moment organizations tend to forget the fundamentals. Instead they chase instant fixes or new initiatives that do not address the root causes of problems
