Requisite Organization: A Total System for Effective Managerial Organization and Managerial Leadership for the 21st Century

In the global business world, REQUISITE ORGANIZATION stands as a beacon for a scientific approach to organizing corporations. Based on Jaques's latest research, the forthcoming second edition is a thorough revision of REQUISITE ORGANIZATION, (1989), a book that has established itself as the outstanding contribution to the development of effective managerial leadership systems. Jaques challenges current methods & assumptions in the field of organization, leadership & management, & presents a unified total management system built upon a rigorous theoretical base, Stratified Systems Theory, that makes it possible to relate all aspects of leadership, work & human resourcing into a coherent whole.
