Miles and Snow: Enduring insights for managers
回顾了迈尔斯和斯诺的经典著作,聚焦成功企业的适应性,以索尼为例说明数字技术融合带来的挑战,并介绍了四种组织类型(反应者、防御者、探索者、分析者)。
The article refers to the book “Organizational Strategy, Structure, and Process,” by Raymond Miles and Charles Snow, and focuses on adaptability in successful companies. The adaptive cycle consists of three problems—administrative, engineering, and entrepreneurial. The discussion centers on the Japanese consumer electronics company, Sony, which was challenged by change in the 1990s that resulted from a convergence of digital technologies, consumer electronics, information technology, and media businesses. Four organizational archetypes are mentioned: reactor, defender, prospector, and analyzer.
