John Roberts Libros

En todo el mundo, las empresas están experimentando con nuevos diseños organizativos, cambiando sus arquitecturas, sus rutinas y procesos, así como su cultura de empresa con el fin de mejorar sus perspectivas de crecimiento y sus resultados. En este libro, John Roberts sostiene que para tener éxito, las empresas deben mantener unas determinadas relaciones entre estos elementos cambiantes. La empresa moderna desarrolla una estructura conceptual que permite analizar las interrelaciones entre los rasgos del diseño organizativo, la estrategia competitiva y el entorno de la empresa. Aunque escrito en un lenguaje que no es técnico, el libro se fundamenta en una modelización rigurosa y utiliza numerosos ejemplos, que incluyen desde las organizaciones dedicadas a la compraventa de pieles en el siglo XVIII hasta las empresas más modernas como BP y Nokia. Escrito por uno de los economistas de más prestigio mundial y experto en estrategia competitiva y organización de empresas, La empresa moderna proporciona nuevas ideas básicas sobre los cambios que están ocurriendo hoy en el mundo de los negocios. Por ello el libro es de enorme interés para empresarios, economistas y estudiantes.
