Choice Review

The editors, the contributing authors, and all who labored over the preparation of this volume have given us a work rich in vision, wonderfully insightful, and filled with a wealth of great ideas. As one instilled with the vertical paradigm of organizations, this reviewer found this volume refreshing. The intellectual legacy of Peter Drucker is obvious in the editors' design and execution of this project. Like Drucker they do not predict the future; rather they simply address what is visible but not yet seen. This work, a follow-up to The Organization of the Future (CH, May'97, 34-51`83), is organized in five sections: "Strategy and Vision," "Organizational Culture," "Designing the Organization of the Future," "Working Together," and "Leadership." Contributors individually and collectively demonstrate a command of their subject, documenting their topics thoroughly and laying out for readers the best sense of the future. In short, this book is fun to read and has the potential of igniting a wonderful dialogue on the future of organizations and their management. A must for a solid university collection and a wise choice for collateral reading in many management courses. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. J. B. Kashner emeritus, College of the Southwest
