Here is a practical guide for anyone faced with organising a business. Because every organisation situation is unique, the reader should be familiar with a number of conceptual models and tools which can be of help when creating a theory for a particular situation. As consultants and businessmen, as well as through the elaboration of certain methods, the authors have developed a sense of what is important in the work of shaping or redesigning an organisation. This book will help anyone on the point of realizing a development in their organisation and wishing to know how this can effectively and successfully be accomplished.

Bengt Karlöf is the founder of Karlöf Consulting and well known for his long experience as a management consultant and author of books on management-related subjects.
