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.
