Theory Z: Opening the corporate door for participative management
评论威廉·大内的《Z理论》，介绍Z型组织的七个要素，包括长期雇佣、共识决策、个人责任等，为面临日本管理挑战的美国企业提供参考。
This article presents a commentary on William Ouchi's book “Theory Z: How American Business Can Meet the Japanese Challenge.” The author explains that Ouchi's book was a response to the management processes of the 60s and 70s, and served as a roadmap for those companies threatened by successful Japanese management techniques. The author outlines the seven elements of a Type Z organization, including long-term employment, consensual decision-making, individual responsibility, slow evaluation and promotion, implicit control with explicit measures, moderately specialized career path, and holistic concern.
