This is the key question answered in Managing in the Next Millennium, a unique collection of candid, first-hand insights, based on exclusive interviews with the world's top management commentators, thinkers and doers." "Here are just some of the issues Mike Johnson investigates:" "Organizations: will they be flatter, outsourced and dominated by super managers? which management functions will survive?" "Individual careers: will we have to learn to develop and market ourselves in a new employment world of short term contracts? will head-hunters manage our career portfolio like agents?" "Corporate culture: democratic or autocratic?" "Retaining employees: how will we motivate high performance managers in flatter organizations?" "International business: will we expect to work in a multicultural environment and need to increase our mobility - or will high tech communications reduce corporate travel?" "Global competitiveness: which are the dominant and emerging nations?" "Management strategies: will service, service, service still be the key to corporate success?" "The workplace: will we still herd together in offices or telecommute?"--BOOK JACKET.
