Managing Culture: The Invisible Barrier to Strategic Change
指出高层管理者的核心信念会导致战略短视,使企业文化成为阻碍适应技术、监管和竞争环境变化的无形障碍,并提出了打破这一障碍的步骤。
The core beliefs of top managers can inhibit change by producing strategic myopia so that the natural response is to keep managing in the same old way. A company's culture can thus become an invisible barrier which impedes the process of adapting to changes in the firm's technological, regulatory, and competitive environment. The author presents several steps needed to break this invisible barrier, including making beliefs visible, using outside directors, bringing in new blood, and encouraging flexibility throughout the ranks of middle management.
