| Abstract | In a world where the economists' land, labour, and capital no longer explain wealth generation, new concepts are needed to capture and harness the forces of economic growth. Intellect, intelligence, ideas are the substance of production. The essence of management now involves systematizing, supporting, and motivating these ephemeral forces. The old "worker and manager" paradigm has been effectively demolished elsewhere. The authors of this book create an Integrated Performance Support environment - consisting of a Librarian, Coach, Coordinator, Historian, and Assistant - as the new integrated management unit. To illustrate the practice behind the theory, the authors call on a rich array of case studies and results. It is suggested that this book can be seen as a reference work for all pragmatic managers. |
