PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Flexible Firm: The Design of Culture at Bang & Olufsen

Bang Olufsen the famous Danish producer of highend home electronics is well known as an early exponent of valuebased management the idea that there should be consistency in what the organisation does a certain continuity between what the company develops and sells and the beliefs and practices of the employees This study investigates how company values are communicated and the collective identity is articulated through the use of such concepts as culture fundamental values and corporate religion as well as how employees negotiate these ideas in their daily working lives As this book reveals the identification of values meant to create cohesion and solidarity among employees came to symbolise and engender a split between the staff and the other parts of the company By examining the rise and fall of the valuebased management approach this volume offers the indispensible insight of anthropological enquiry to expose how social realities challenge conventional management strategies and therefore must be considered in the development of new management techniques.

At many companies, being first with a concept and first to market are critical just to survive. In The Art of Innovation, Tom Kelley, general manager of the Silicon Valley based design firm IDEO, takes readers behind the scenes of this wildly imaginative and energized company to reveal the strategies and secrets it uses to turn out hit after hit.IDEO doesn\'t buy into the myth of the lone genius working away in isolation, waiting for great ideas to strike. Kelley believes everyone can be creative, and the goal at his firm is to tap into that wellspring of creativity in order to make innovation a way of life. How does it do that? IDEO fosters an atmosphere conducive to freely expressing ideas, breaking the rules, and freeing people to design their own work environments. IDEO\'s focus on teamwork generates countless breakthroughs, fueled by the constant give-and-take among people ready to share ideas and reap the benefits of the group process. IDEO has created an intense, quick-turnaround, brainstorm-and-build process dubbed the Deep Dive.In entertaining anecdotes, Kelley illustrates some of his firm\'s own successes (and joyful failures), as well as pioneering efforts at other leading companies. The book reveals how teams research and immerse themselves in every possible aspect of a new product or service, examining it from the perspective of clients, consumers, and other critical audiences.Kelley takes the reader through the IDEO problem-solving method:> Carefully observing the behavior or anthropology of the people who will be using a product or service> Brainstorming with high-energy sessions focused on tangible results> Quickly prototyping ideas and designs at every step of the way> Cross-pollinating to find solutions from other fields> Taking risks, and failing your way to success> Building a Greenhouse for innovationIDEO has won more awards in the last ten years than any other firm of its kind, and a full half-hour Nightline presentation of its creative process received one of the show\'s highest ratings.
